Female scammer creates fake Facebook account, defrauds people of 1.7 billion VND by scamming them through online rotating savings schemes.

On April 10th, the Lam Dong Provincial Police issued a decision to initiate a criminal case and indict Nguyen Nhat Thao Xuan Vy for the crime of "Fraudulent appropriation of property".

However, because the suspect is raising young children, the authorities have imposed a travel ban on her during the investigation.

According to initial investigations, Vy became acquainted with Ms. NTBT (residing in the same Don Duong district) through online rotating savings schemes that Vy herself had established. Upon discovering that Ms. T. was facing financial difficulties due to being defrauded from the scheme, Vy conceived the idea of ​​appropriating her assets.

Vy created a fake Facebook account under the name "Thanh Thảo," posing as a new participant in a rotating savings scheme. She proactively contacted Ms. T., asking to join and offering to receive her payout from the very first installment in the new schemes organized by Ms. T. Trusting her, Ms. T. agreed to let "Thanh Thảo" participate.

Vy continued to fabricate stories, claiming that "Thanh Thảo" had connections and would open more large-scale informal lending schemes, promising potential winnings of up to 2-3 billion VND.

Using sophisticated tactics, Vy repeatedly urged and encouraged Ms. T. to join more informal lending schemes to accumulate money.

Between January and April 2024 alone, Vy embezzled a total of 1.7 billion VND from Ms. T., using it for personal purposes.

Upon receiving the complaint, the Lam Dong Provincial Police Directorate immediately directed the Criminal Investigation Agency to quickly launch an investigation, gather evidence, and protect the legitimate rights of the victim.

The investigation into this case is ongoing and being expanded.
