"Officers" of Phuong Nam International Household Appliances Joint Stock Company distribute receipts and collect deposits to buy "multi-purpose vacuum pots" in the hall of Hung Phuc commune.

Market Management Team No. 3 and the Department of Industry and Trade of Hung Nguyen district went to Hung Phuc and Hung Thinh communes to work directly with the leaders of the two communes. At the time of inspection, Phuong Nam International Household Appliances Joint Stock Company was no longer operating in Hung Nguyen district. Through working with the two communes, it was found that on August 27-28, 2014, Phuong Nam International Household Appliances Joint Stock Company rented the Cultural House of Hung Phuc commune, Hung Thinh commune, Hung Nguyen district to organize a seminar and introduce the multi-purpose non-electric cooker. After 2 days of introducing the product, Phuong Nam International Household Appliances Joint Stock Company organized for individuals who wanted to register and buy the product. Due to doubts about the quality and price of the vacuum cooker provided by the company, people in Hung Thinh commune returned almost all of the purchased products, and in Hung Phuc commune people returned about 50% of the purchased products. Phuong Nam International Household Appliances Joint Stock Company also consulted and instructed customers who purchased the company's products on how to use them.

Up to now, Phuong Nam International Household Appliances Joint Stock Company is no longer operating in organizing seminars and introducing products in Nghe An province.
