Previously, in early 2018, the Office of the Investigation Police Agency (Ministry of Public Security) had a transfer of a petition to the Hanoi City Police Department regarding the fact that many victims accused Do Thi Kim Ngan of defrauding and appropriating customers' assets throughbuy and sell on social networks.
According to the victims' feedback, Ngan "Gom" used the Facebook account Do Thi Kim Ngan Paula, Ngan "Gom"; Zalo account Ngan "Gom."
Ngan often livestreams on social networks, taking advantage of people's gullibility to sell ceramic products and other items at prices cheaper than the market.
Ngan “Gom” also called for disaster relief and help for localities in difficulty. Ngan’s purpose was to defraud and appropriate property from customers and benefactors.
When the "prey" took the bait and transferred money to Ngan, their contact numbers and links on social networking platforms Zalo and Facebook were immediately blocked.
Notably, in early 2020, Mr. Tran Anh Tuan (residing in Dong Ngac ward, Bac Tu Liem district, Hanoi) was scammed by Do Thi Kim Ngan.
He transferred 10 million VND but Ngan sent him 2 fake watches worth only a few hundred thousand VND, so he filed a complaint with the Bac Tu Liem District Police.
The case is being investigated and clarified for handling according to legal regulations./.
