Today (September 26), the Phu My Town Police (Ba Ria - Vung Tau province) announced that they are verifying and investigating a case in which a woman was defrauded of over 600 million VND through the social network Facebook.
According to the report, at around 10:00 AM on September 3rd, Ms. HTH (41 years old, residing in Hac Dich ward, Phu My town) went on Facebook to order cosmetics for personal use.
While searching for products, Ms. H. accessed an advertising link from the beauty company Mailisa – Doctor Magic and inquired about purchasing. She was then befriended by a Facebook account named "My Duyen".
After agreeing, Ms. H. was guided and introduced by "My Duyen" to befriend a Facebook account named "Nguyen Thi Minh Hien".
During the conversation, "Nguyen Thi Minh Hien" introduced herself as the "general director" of the aforementioned beauty company and sent some product trial forms for Ms. H. to review.
Next, "Nguyen Thi Minh Hien" suggested that with these vouchers, if Ms. H. tried the product, she would receive a large discount and a generous commission. However, Ms. H. had to pay in advance before participating.
Trusting the offer, Ms. H. agreed and transferred a total of over 567 million VND in multiple installments to "Nguyen Thi Minh Hien" into an account under the name Mailisa Production, Trading and Service Company Limited, opened at a commercial joint-stock bank.
After Ms. H. transferred the money, "Nguyen Thi Minh Hien" informed her that she was entitled to over 696 million VND. If she wanted to withdraw the money, Ms. H. had to meet with the company's accountant to pay a 10% fee on the amount she was entitled to.
Later, "Nguyen Thi Minh Hien" introduced Ms. H. to a person with the Facebook name "Tran Thi Kim Thoa" to make payments and receive commissions and promotions.
Following the instructions, Ms. H. transferred over 69 million VND. However, after sending the money, Ms. H. continued to receive requests to pay many other fees.
Upon realizing she had been scammed, Ms. H. went to the police station to report the incident.
