General Director forged car papers and sold them to creditors for 800 million

Today (October 1), Quang Ninh Provincial Police said they have received a case of a person surrendering for the act of forging seals and documents of agencies and organizations.

Previously, Quang Ninh Provincial Police received a complaint from Ms. Ngo Thi Hang Thuy (born in 1977, residing in Group 4, Area 4A, Hong Hai Ward, Ha Long City) accusing Pham Thi Ngoc Mai, General Director of Pham Gia An Thinh Company, of fraud and appropriation of a Hyundai Santafe car with license plate 14A-420.64 worth 800 million VND.

At the investigation agency, Pham Thi Ngoc Mai confessed that in February, due to needing more capital for her business, she proposed selling the above car (registered under the name of Pham Gia An Thinh LLC) to Ms. Thuy for 800 million VND.

Because this car was mortgaged to the bank, Mai found and ordered 3 fake car registration certificates from a stranger via Facebook for 12 million VND.

On February 18, Ms. Thuy and Mai went to Notary Office No. 1 together to make a car purchase contract. There, Mai gave Ms. Thuy the car registration certificate that had been forged earlier.

Ms. Thuy transferred 280 million VND to Mai via her bank account (because Mai had borrowed from Ms. Thuy many times before and still owed 520 million VND). After completing the procedures to sell the car to Ms. Thuy, because many people demanded the debt and threatened to affect the family's reputation, Mai left home to work in Hanoi to earn money to pay off the debt.

Now realizing that the above behavior is a violation of the law and cannot be avoided, Pham Thi Ngoc Mai went to the Quang Ninh Provincial Police to surrender and clearly reported the above incident in hopes of leniency from the law.
