Scammers use fake "single women" to post love stories online.

On November 6th, the Da Nang City Police, in coordination with the An Giang Provincial Police, detained Chau Hoang Khang (26 years old, residing in Chau Thanh district, An Giang province) for investigation into the case of using social media to defraud and appropriate property.

Previously, on October 11th, the police received a report from a resident in Da Nang about being scammed out of over 350 million VND by an unknown individual through social media applications on Facebook, Zalo, and Telegram under the name "Single Women".

Through investigation, the police identified the suspect as Khang and proceeded to arrest him upon his return home from Cambodia to Chau Thanh district, An Giang province. The suspect was then transferred to Da Nang for further investigation.

At the police station, Khang confessed that around June, he went to Cambodia to work for a company specializing in online fraud and property theft (the name and address are unknown).

This company gave Khang two social media accounts, Facebook and Zalo, both under the name "Nguyen Thi Kieu Trang," to lure men seeking "new experiences" into romantic conversations, and then entice them into investing in business ventures to seize their assets.

To cover up his crimes, Khang used multiple bank accounts as well as methods to erase traces of information on social media.

The Criminal Investigation Department of the Da Nang Public Security Bureau is searching for victims of similar scams in order to investigate and clarify the matter.
