Police summon two suspects in a fraud case involving over VND 110 billion

The Quang Binh Provincial Police’s Criminal Investigation Division has summoned and received voluntary confessions from two individuals, Hoang Thi Ngoc Thuy (born 1988) and Le Thi Thanh Thuy (born 1987), both residing in Dong Hoi city, in relation to a fraud and appropriation case.

According to the police, from 2023 until their arrest, the two suspects had mobilized over VND 110 billion from numerous individuals in Quang Binh Province.

Lieutenant Hoang Trung Thanh from the Criminal Investigation Division stated that the suspects approached individuals with idle funds, presenting themselves as well-connected individuals with extensive relationships in the banking system. They offered these individuals the opportunity to lend money to borrowers who needed large sums for loan refinancing at interest rates much higher than those offered by banks.

Driven by greed, many people invested their own money and even borrowed from friends and family, hoping to profit from the high-interest rates. In one case, a victim lent Hoang Thi Ngoc Thuy over VND 33 billion.

However, the scam eventually unraveled, and the police began their investigation. Upper Lieutenant Truong Minh Vu, head of the Criminal Investigation Division, emphasized that in all the cases they are handling, the lenders have not been able to recover their funds. He issued a warning to the public, stating that not only do they risk losing their money in such schemes, but they may also face legal consequences for engaging in usury.

This case serves as a stark reminder to everyone of the dangers posed by fraudsters and the importance of being vigilant. People should be cautious when presented with opportunities that seem too good to be true, even if they come from acquaintances or friends. Participating in such schemes not only results in financial loss but also potentially exposes individuals to legal repercussions for usury-related offenses.
