More than 100 officers and soldiers of Bac Giang Provincial Police simultaneously inspected 7 apartments of a luxury apartment complex in Gia Lam District ( Hanoi City) and 2 locations in My Duc District (Hanoi City) and discovered and controlled 37 subjects aged 17 to 25 years old who had committed fraud and property appropriation on the Internet.
Working group members collect relevant evidence.
Through the work of grasping the situation, the Department of Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention of Bac Giang Provincial Police discovered a group of subjects impersonating bank employees to defraud and appropriate assets in cyberspace.
Colonel Nguyen Quoc Toan, Director of Bac Giang Provincial Police, directed the establishment of a special project to fight. The project team mobilized all forces and means to fight with the highest efficiency.
At 7:00 a.m. on August 4, 9 working groups with more than 100 officers and soldiers from Bac Giang City Police, the Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention Department, the Mobile Police Department and a number of other professional units of the Provincial Police simultaneously inspected 7 apartments of a high-end apartment complex in Gia Lam District (Hanoi City) and 2 locations in My Duc District (Hanoi City) and discovered and controlled 37 subjects aged 17 to 25 years old who had committed fraud and property appropriation on the Internet.
During an urgent search of the suspects' residences, the task force seized 28 computers, 31 internet broadcasting devices, 43 mobile phones of various types, 18 bank cards, 61 phone SIM cards and many objects and documents related to the case.
In this case, the mastermind and ringleader was identified as Tran Van Manh (born in 2002) in An Tien commune, My Duc district.
The subjects who played an active supporting role were: Tran Van Sy (born in 2002); Tran Long Vu (born in 2002); Tran Van Dat (born in 1998); Nguyen Ba Tuan (born in 2004), all from An Tien commune. The remaining subjects were recruited as employees and paid monthly salaries to carry out acts of fraud and property appropriation.
Lieutenant Colonel Tran Huy Viet, Head of the Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention Department, said: The subjects in this case used tricks to buy fake Facebook accounts and then use applications on the internet platform to run advertisements to increase interactions; focused on posting advertisements on loan associations and groups; faked information from banks and credit institutions to support loan packages with preferential interest rates and quick disbursement within the day.
To create trust with people who need to borrow money, the subjects play many roles, sometimes as consultants, customer care staff, sometimes as file appraisers... to advise and prepare loan applications. Then, they require people who need to borrow money to transfer money such as: disbursement fees, loan insurance fees... to bank accounts designated by them.
In order to be able to appropriate a lot of money, many times, the subjects had a prepared scenario for the victim to transfer money many times, in large amounts, then appropriate it, and then block contact with the victim. The loan insurance fee that the subjects first proposed was 950 thousand VND, then they proposed many different scenarios such as: the transfer content was wrong, the amount had bad debt so the borrower was required to transfer many times; in many cases, the transfer amount was more than 200 million VND.
With the above fraud tricks, initially, the authorities determined that the above group of subjects had defrauded and appropriated over 30 billion VND from thousands of victims nationwide.
In order to successfully appropriate the money they had swindled and avoid detection by authorities, the above subjects circulated the appropriated money and regularly exchanged experiences with each other.
The ringleaders and active accomplices rented luxury apartments to live in, purchased machinery and equipment to commit crimes, and recruited employees to commit fraud and property appropriation on the internet.
It is worth noting that the subjects in this case are very young, even in some cases minors have been lured into participating in fraudulent activities to appropriate property. In particular, there are students on summer vacation who have also been lured.
Through verification, many subjects in this case have family circumstances where parents are divorced, not in harmony, parents have passed away and many families do not care about their children.
Currently, the Investigation Police Agency, Bac Giang City Police have decided to temporarily detain 31 subjects and are continuing to coordinate with the Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention Department to expand the investigation.
