Couple Scams Woman Out of $6 Million by Falsely Promising Land and Company Position
According to the Public Security of Ha Tinh province, in July 2022, 58-year-old Nguyen Thi T, a resident of Nam Ha ward in Ha Tinh city, became acquainted with Mai Chi Phuong (born 1988) and his wife Vo Thi Thanh (born 1990), who lived in Bac Thuong village, Thach Dai commune, Thach Ha district, Ha Tinh province.
Phuong and Thanh, who were facing losses in their land business and needed money to pay off personal debts, falsely claimed that they had upcoming land division and sale projects in Thach Dai commune, Thach Ha district. They promised that if Nguyen Thi T invested in these projects, she would be appointed as the Deputy Director of their construction company, Huy Doan Hung, and would also enjoy high profits.
Over several transactions, the couple gained Nguyen Thi T’s trust. From July 11 to November 5, 2022, Nguyen Thi T asked her relatives and borrowed money from friends, transferring nearly VND 141.8 billion (approximately $6 million) to the couple’s bank account. This included over VND 62.1 billion ($2.6 million) transferred by her daughter and nearly VND 58.2 billion ($2.5 million) by her daughter-in-law. Nguyen Thi T herself, along with her friends, transferred approximately VND 21.1 billion ($900,000).
In subsequent transactions, the couple returned a total of over VND 101.2 billion ($4.3 million) to Nguyen Thi T. They pocketed the remaining amount of over VND 40.5 billion ($1.7 million), using it to pay off debts, interests, and invest in cryptocurrency.
The Public Security of Ha Tinh province also revealed that the couple had scammed multiple other individuals using similar tactics.
On September 13, 2024, after a prolonged deliberation due to the case’s complexity, the Ha Tinh Provincial People’s Court sentenced the couple to life imprisonment for “Fraudulent Appropriation of Property” and “Using Fake Documents of Agencies and Organizations.”
