During the period from 2014 to 2018, the subjects fraudulently introduced themselves as acquaintances of leaders of the Nghe An Department of Health, so they would "get jobs" on long-term contracts or on the payroll at hospitals in Nghe An province to appropriate money from the victims.

In the witness stand, defendant Oanh evaded the charge, claiming that she had successfully found jobs for two cases. The remaining cases agreed to switch from running errands to borrowing money.
