Falling into the trap of a 'female monster' 100 times in a row, a man lost nearly 10 billion VND
Creating a series of scams, Le Thi Tuyet Mai appropriated nearly 10 billion VND from Mr. T.
On the afternoon of April 2, Nam Tu Liem District Police (Hanoi) announced that they had prosecuted Le Thi Tuyet Mai (38 years old, in Ha Dong District) for the crime of "Fraudulent appropriation of property".
Police determined that in 2012, Mai borrowed 1.2 billion VND from Mr. N.D.T. (42 years old, in Nam Tu Liem district) without interest but was unable to pay.
When Mr. T. asked for money, Mai explained that the money had been invested in sending workers to Australia; the money was in arrears, so Mai registered Mr. T.'s name and information as the beneficiary of the money after completing the procedures.
In May 2022, Mai pretended to have a Southern accent and called Mr. T., claiming to be an employee of the Australian Consulate, assisting Mr. T. in the procedures to receive the back debt. To receive the money back, Mr. T. had to pay a fee.
To gain trust, Mai put Mr. T. in a chat group where all the participating accounts were created by this woman herself with different positions at the "embassy". These accounts texted each other about the content related to the money that Mr. T. received.
Due to trust, the victim paid the money as requested but was informed that there was a problem, late payment or incorrect code, and that they had to continue paying to get their money back, otherwise they would be held legally responsible.
From May 2022 to July 2023, Mr. T. made about 100 transactions with a total amount of more than 8.7 billion VND.
Mai used all the money she embezzled for personal spending.
