Bank employee who swindled 10 billion VND is being held in an emergency
Thanks to a close friend pretending to be someone in need of a bank loan, Le Van Duc defrauded and appropriated more than 10 billion VND from a number of people in Phu Quoc City (Kien Giang Province).
On the morning of September 28, Phu Quoc City Police issued an order to detain and urgently search Le Van Duc (36 years old, employee of a local bank) to investigate the act of "Showing signs of fraud and appropriation of property".

According to initial investigation results, when he was a bank employee, due to owing many people a huge amount of money, Duc had the idea of appropriating property to have money to pay.
On January 17 this year, through an acquaintance, Duc learned that Ms. TTH (46 years old, living in Phu Quoc City) lent money to pay off a bank loan. Duc told Ms. H. that a customer needed to borrow 2.5 billion VND to pay off a loan, and would pay back the money within 3 days.
However, Ms. H. did not agree to lend money to Duc, but only to lend money directly to customers. Therefore, Duc asked his close friend, NTC (36 years old), to act as a customer and come to Ms. H. to borrow the above amount of money. Ms. H. agreed to lend money to C. This friend then transferred the money back to Duc.

On January 18, because he still owed money to many people, Duc continued to intend to defraud and appropriate money from Ms. H. Therefore, the subject contacted her, saying that there was a customer working at a state agency who needed to borrow 3 billion VND to pay off the debt.
Ms. H. still asked to meet the customer in person to discuss. This time, Duc asked another close friend, PUĐ. (36 years old), to take out the loan. The matter was successful, and Ms. H.'s 3 billion VND continued to be transferred to Duc.
When the payment deadline came, Duc, C. and D. went to see Ms. H. to admit the incident and asked for more time. After being repeatedly broken promises, Ms. H. filed a complaint with the police.
At the investigation agency, Duc confessed to all his crimes. This subject said that from 2023 until now, using similar tricks, he has appropriated more than 10 billion VND from a number of people in Phu Quoc City.
