According to the investigation agency, from March 2023 until his arrest, the accused, Pham Anh Truong (born August 23, 1992, residing in Minh Luong Noi village, Tien Ngoai commune, Duy Tien town, Ha Nam province), rented a location in Bavet, Svay Rieng province, Cambodia. He installed 26 desktop computers and about 40 mobile phones, using Vietnamese users’ purchased Zalo accounts connected to the internet to create fanpages on social media platforms such as Facebook and Zalo for advertising and posting. Truong hired 25 Vietnamese individuals to establish and operate two online lending platforms with loan insurance (accessible at anhphuc.vn and anhphuc.com.vn). These websites impersonated legitimate financial companies in Vietnam and lured victims into borrowing money with a 10% loan insurance fee, which the accused then appropriated.
Additionally, Truong also impersonated and established a financial investment platform called JDR (accessible at jdrsecurities.com.vn) to solicit investments from victims, which he then embezzled.
To receive the money transferred by the victims, Pham Anh Truong and his accomplices used four bank accounts registered with names matching the legal representatives of the companies or financial investment support companies to gain the victims’ trust. The bank accounts used include: (1) VIB account number: 037513170, account holder: NGUYEN VAN PHUC; (2) VPBANK account number: 136789, account holder: CT TNHH HO TRO VA DAU TU ANH PHUC; (3) MB account number: 5599888666, account holder: CONG TY TNHH ANH PHUC; (4) Vietcombank account number: 1211016789, account holder: CT TNHH DAU TU DICH VU MINH THANH CONG.
