Workers accuse of being tricked into going to Korea, the introducer "disappeared" with 700 million VND

On July 26, Mr. Nguyen Van L. (47 years old, residing in Gia Rai town, Bac Lieu province) said that he had sent a petition to the authorities to report signs of someone swindling money to work abroad.

Informing Dan Tri reporter, Mr. L. said that he and Ms. VTĐ. (49 years old, living in Dong Hai district, Bac Lieu province) knew each other many years ago.

In February this year, Mr. L. met Ms. D. at a coffee shop in Gia Rai town. Ms. D. said that her daughter, N., was married and living in Korea. N.'s brother-in-law was a construction contractor looking for workers to go to Korea to work with high salaries.

"Ms. D. said that anyone who wanted to go to Korea had to give her 150 million VND/person, and someone would take care of the procedures and documents for going to work. Because I trusted Ms. D., I agreed and found 5 other acquaintances. These people gave me money and I transferred back to Ms. D. about 720 million VND," Mr. L. informed.

"I directly gave cash to Ms. D. 3 times, a total of 680 million VND and once transferred 40 million VND. Because I trusted her, I did not make any paperwork to transfer the money," said Mr. L.

Talking more about the signs of being scammed, according to Mr. L., after receiving the money, Ms. D. told everyone to prepare, on April 16, go to Ho Chi Minh City to sign the papers and fly on June 18.

"However, on April 15, Ms. D. called me to say that the construction site in Korea had an accident and could not proceed. I asked Ms. D. what to do and she asked me to give her account number so she could transfer the money back.

I gave her the account number and waited a week but Ms. D. still didn't transfer the money. I called her but couldn't get through. To this day, I haven't heard any news from Ms. D.," Mr. L. said.

On July 26, a leader of the Criminal Police Department of Bac Lieu Province Police confirmed to Dan Tri reporter that the police investigation agency had received the above criminal denunciation information from Mr. L. and was verifying and clarifying.
