Creating "ghost" customer files to defraud a company of over 5 billion VND.

On October 12th, the Da Nang City Police announced that they had served the indictment decisions against Tran Nhu Quynh (39 years old, residing in Hai Chau district) for the crime of fraud and appropriation of property.

According to initial information, Quynh is a collaborator of an investment consulting company that assists clients in applying for student and tourist visas, based in Ha Dong district (Hanoi).

According to her employment contract, Quynh was given cash, bank transfers, or savings accounts by the company to assist clients with financial verification procedures (by opening savings accounts or confirming bank account balances) when clients needed funds for travel or study abroad.

Upon completing the procedures for the client, Quynh must settle the accounts and is responsible for returning the money and savings passbook to the company.

In early May, Quynh provided false information about several individuals who needed proof of financial means, in order to gain the company's trust and get them to transfer money.

Quynh misappropriated this money for personal use without following the proper financial verification procedures (as these were from fictitious clients). The police accuse Quynh of embezzling over 5 billion VND from the company.
