According to the Nghe An Provincial Police, Nguyen Thi Thoan had a familiar relationship with a woman living in the same locality. Thoan knew that the victim had the ability to mobilize large sums of money, so she informed the victim about her fictional brother, who she claimed was influential and successful in real estate investments with high profitability.
Thoan sent photos of herself with the man she introduced as her brother, as well as images of construction sites, groundbreaking ceremonies, and land certificates. She lied, saying that these were her brother’s ongoing projects and promised returns of billions of dong in profits. Thoan also introduced herself as the leader’s secretary and claimed that she was in charge of raising capital to invest in real estate. She promised to return the principal amount and profits from the investments once her brother transferred the money to her.
The victim trusted the information provided by Thoan and transferred money to her on multiple occasions. In total, Thoan embezzled over 7.2 billion dong from the victim. She used a portion of this money to pay off debts and for personal expenses.

On September 19, Nguyen Thi Thoan was temporarily detained by the Nghe An Criminal Police to investigate the act of “Fraudulently appropriating property through joint capital contribution for real estate investment.”
Given the prevalence of such scams, the police advise citizens to be cautious when investing in real estate. It is essential to verify the legal status of the land and directly engage with authorities to confirm the authenticity of contracts. Be wary of extremely low-priced projects, and always research before investing. If you encounter any suspicious activities or documents, report them to the police immediately.
