Authorities have detained a lottery scheme organizer for defrauding people of nearly 10 billion VND.

On February 22nd, the Investigation Police Department of Soc Trang province announced that they had initiated a criminal case, indicted the suspect, and temporarily detained Ly Thi My Nga (48 years old, residing in Ward 2, Soc Trang City) for investigation into the crime of fraud and appropriation of property.

Ly Thi My Nga was charged and taken into custody for the crime of fraud and appropriation of property.

According to initial investigations, in 2020, Nga acted as the organizer of a rotating savings and credit association (ROSCA), opening numerous daily, weekly, and monthly ROSCA schemes, and then soliciting and encouraging many people in Soc Trang City to participate. During the ROSCA process, Nga gained the trust of many participants, causing them to lower their guard, not directly attend the ROSCA draws, and participate without knowing who the other participants were in the same ROSCA scheme.

Taking advantage of the trust of the members of the rotating savings and credit association (ROSCA), Nga committed fraud, embezzling nearly 10 billion VND for personal use. Recently, Nga declared bankruptcy of the ROSCA.

Based on a tip from the public, the Criminal Investigation Agency of the Soc Trang Provincial Police issued a decision to prosecute and temporarily detain Nga for investigation into the act of fraud and appropriation of property. At the same time, they urged anyone who is a victim of Nga to proactively report to the police.
