Believing the words of a scammer offering to ward off bad luck, a woman was scammed out of 2.8 billion VND
Believing the scammer that the offering would help her family avoid disaster, Ms. D.TH had 2.8 billion VND stolen.
The Criminal Police Department of Gia Lai Province Police has just coordinated with relevant agencies to execute an arrest warrant for Vu Thi Thu Trang (37 years old, residing in Ia Kring Ward, Pleiku City) to investigate the crime of Fraudulent appropriation of property.
Previously, Trang introduced herself as a member of the “Vietnam Mother Goddess Research and Development Institute”, who could perform spirit mediumship and perform rituals to help many families escape misfortune and disaster. When meeting Ms. H, Trang said that Ms. H. and her family were about to face disaster, possibly even death, making Ms. H. extremely confused and scared, asking for Trang’s help.
After that, Trang asked Ms. H. to give her money to buy offerings and make offerings to the gods. Believing her, Ms. H. transferred money to Trang many times to perform rituals to ward off bad luck, totaling 2.8 billion VND. After receiving the money, Trang used part of it to buy offerings and hire people to perform rituals, and Trang appropriated the remaining money for personal use.
Seeing the "fat bait", Trang continued the above trick, however, at this time, Ms. H. no longer had the financial ability to carry it out. After a while, seeing no disasters as predicted, realizing Trang's true face, Ms. H. filed a complaint to the authorities.
On May 23, the Gia Lai Provincial Police Department issued a decision to prosecute the case and prosecute Vu Thi Thu Trang. However, because the defendant is raising a child under 36 months old, the Investigation Agency applied preventive measures to prohibit her from leaving her place of residence.
