(Baonghean.vn) - The Criminal Police Department of Nghe An Province has initiated a case, prosecuted the accused and issued an order to temporarily detain Dao Thi Mong Thuong for investigation on the crime of fraud and appropriation of property, while continuing to fight and expand the investigation of the case.

Subject Dao Thi Mong Thuong (born 1978), residing in Vinh Thoi commune, Lai Vung district, Dong Thap province. Although she had a previous conviction for gambling, Dao Thi Mong Thuong did not take that as a lesson and continued to commit fraud and property appropriation.

To carry out her actions, in August 2019, Dao Thi Mong Thuong created and used the Facebook account "Dao Ngoc Minh" to post pictures of beautiful young women, then made friends and texted a man residing in Vinh city. During the conversation, she saw that the victim was a rich person, so Thuong came up with the idea of defrauding and appropriating the victim's property by cheating on her love.

Thuong introduced himself to the victim as Dao Ngoc Minh (born in 1994), whose parents are Vietnamese expatriates currently working in a shipping business and living in Canada. Due to the nature of his work, Ngoc Minh often travels between Canada and Vietnam. To increase trust, Thuong also created many social media accounts pretending to be Dao Ngoc Minh's relatives, then talked and communicated with the victim to make the victim believe that this character was real.

When the victim trusted and fell in love with the character Ngoc Minh that Thuong had created, Dao Thi Mong Thuong gave a lot of false information about Ngoc Minh needing money to take care of work, do inheritance procedures, make personal papers... from there, many times defrauded the victim to appropriate property with a total amount of more than 12 billion VND.
