According to the police investigation, in October 2019, Dung asked his gaming friend, Tran Duy Quang (also residing in Gia Lai), to lend him his ID card to open 3 accounts at banks.
Dung agreed to cover all of Quang's gaming, food, and living expenses. Quang then gave Dung a Facebook account named Tran Duy Quang.On June 29, Dung knew that Ms. Quynh (residing in Cam Le district, Da Nang) wanted to buy diamonds ingameworth 1,000 USD so used Quang's social network account to contact and transact.
Ms. Quynh then transferred money to Quang's account (which Dung was using). However, immediately after that, Dung blocked all communication with her to appropriate the property.
According to the initial investigation, Dung also used similar tricks to defraud many other people in Da Nang and Gia Lai. The police asked the victim to contact the Son Tra District Police Investigation Agency for guidance on how to resolve the case.
