On July 8, the Investigative Police Office of the Dak Lak Provincial Public Security initiated prosecution and ordered the four-month temporary detention of Ho Thi Dung (33 years old, residing in Ea Sup town, Ea Sup district, Dak Lak province) for fraud and appropriation of assets.
Ho Thi Dung
According to the initial investigation, in May 2023, Tran Thi Vinh (41 years old, residing in Ea Sup town) wanted to sell two houses. Dung, despite her financial limitations and lack of interest in purchasing the properties, contacted Ms. Vinh and agreed to buy the two houses for VND 11.5 billion.
At that time, Ms. Vinh had mortgaged the land-use right certificates (commonly known as “red books”) of the two houses to a bank to borrow VND 3.3 billion.
Dung proposed that she would contact staff from a bank in Buon Ma Thuot City (Dak Lak) to appraise the houses, disburse the money to repay Ms. Vinh’s debt, and retrieve the “red books.” Ms. Vinh agreed to Dung’s proposal.
To gain Ms. Vinh’s trust, Dung hired two motorbike taxi drivers to pose as bank employees and provided them with disposable phone numbers to communicate with Ms. Vinh.
Subsequently, Dung repeatedly asked Ms. Vinh for money to cover the costs of requesting the bank employees to conduct the appraisal. Trusting Dung, Ms. Vinh transferred a total of VND 515 million to Dung on multiple occasions. After a long period without any bank employees arriving to appraise the houses, Ms. Vinh demanded her money back, but Dung refused to return it. Ms. Vinh then filed a complaint with the police.
The case is currently under further investigation by the Investigative Police Office of the Dak Lak Provincial Public Security.
