Two individuals arrested for using cyberspace to commit fraud.

On the morning of May 14th, the Criminal Police Department (An Giang Provincial Police) announced that they had just arrested Ma Quoc Tuan (born in 1983) and Pham Thu Hong (born in 1986, both residing in Cho Moi district) for the crime of "Fraudulent appropriation of property".

Ma Quoc Tuan confessed at the police station.

Pham Thu Hong confessed at the police station.

A search and seizure of related evidence took place at Hong's residence.

During an emergency search of Hong's residence, the police seized a large quantity of used SIM cards and mobile phones. The investigation revealed that, taking advantage of loopholes in HD SAISON Financial Company Limited, headquartered in Ward 6, Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City (HD SAISON Company), regarding online lending via the "HD SAISON mobile app," Ma Quoc Tuan and Pham Thu Hong sought out and enticed many customers in Cho Moi District to borrow money from HD SAISON Company through the app.

Trusting Tuan and Hong, the people provided their personal information to complete the loan application process with the company. To embezzle money from the company and a portion of the customers' loans, Tuan and Hong used their own phone numbers to register on loan applications and open accounts to receive the money. After receiving the money, Tuan and Hong only gave the customers 25% of the amount stated in the loan contract, embezzling the remaining amount.

Using the above methods, from January 2024 to June 2024, Tuan and Hong collected personal information of 136 customers in Cho Moi district to borrow and embezzle over 3.2 billion VND from HD SAISON Company.

Currently, the case is still under investigation by the police.
