The victim, Nam, said that in 2015 he met Long and was introduced by him as a major general. To gain his trust, Long showed Nam the decision to "promote to the rank of major general" via a photo taken on his mobile phone.
During the meetings, Long boasted that he was assigned to establish the Indochina Group (codename S10), with the position of Commander-in-Chief. Long invited Nam to join this group.
Mr. Nam was also shown official documents and papers related to the establishment of the group by "Deputy Commander of S10", Nguyen Minh Son, through images saved on his mobile phone. When Mr. Nam asked to take a picture of these documents, Son said they were confidential documents.
After many exchanges, Mr. Nam agreed to join the group, transferred money three times to their account and gave it directly, a total of hundreds of millions of dong. However, there was no receipt for the money transfer.
Many other victims also reported spending from 65 million to 150 million VND to Long's "henchmen" to be recruited as officers in the army and S10 corporation.
