Super scammer 'brags' about knowing the leader of the Department of Health, tricked people into getting jobs at the hospital, embezzling nearly 5 billion
(Baonghean.vn) - Although she has no stable job, Tuyet "brags" that she knows many leaders of the Nghe An Department of Health and can get jobs at hospitals for those in need. Tuyet is actively helping Tuyet. Both of them have defrauded many victims, appropriating nearly 5 billion VND.
On January 27, Nghe An Provincial People's Court opened a first-instance criminal trial of two defendants, Le Thi Tuyet (born 1979) and Tran Ngoc Tuyen (born 1959), residing in Nghi Kim commune, Vinh city, for the crime of"Fraudulent appropriation of property".
Tuyet is a “super fraud” who has committed many scams. In 2016, Le Thi Tuyet was sentenced to 5 years in prison for “Fraudulent appropriation of property” and 1 year in prison for “Abuse of trust to appropriate property”. Because she is raising a young child, Tuyet was given a suspended sentence.
During this time, Tuyet continued to commit fraud. Tuyet used “old tricks”, colluding with Tran Ngoc Tuyen (retired cadre) to agree to receive money from workers applying for jobs at hospitals in Nghe An province.

In which, Tuyen is the person responsible for finding and receiving money from workers, Tuyet will receive money from Tuyen and is responsible for contacting to apply for jobs.
During the period from 2013 to March 2020, in order to gain the trust of the victims, when approaching people in need of jobs, Tuyet and Tuyen falsely introduced themselves as acquaintances of leaders of the Department of Health and hospitals to apply for jobs for those in need.
To make the job seekers trust her, when receiving the money, Tuyet made an appointment to meet them and showed them a list of references and recruitment decisions from the hospitals where the workers wanted to apply for jobs.
Specifically, in 2013, when hearing Tuyen boast about knowing the leaders of the Department of Health, Mr. NXD (residing in Cua Nam ward, Vinh city) asked him to help him find a job for his son. After that, Mr. D. received 10 applications and nearly 4 billion VND from other people and gave it to Tuyen.
With the above tricks, Tuyet and Tuyen together committed 3 acts of fraud against 3 victims to get jobs for 30 workers with the amount of more than 4.8 billion VND. In addition, Tuyet alone committed 2 acts of fraud, appropriating more than 775 million VND. Tran Ngoc Tuyen alone committed 3 acts of fraud, appropriating more than 430 million VND.
At the trial, the two defendants admitted their crimes. The victims asked the two defendants to return the money they had embezzled.
Considering the case as a whole, the People's Court sentenced Le Thi Tuyet to 20 years in prison and Tran Ngoc Tuyen to 12 years in prison for "Fraudulent appropriation of property".
