Specifically, on March 14, the police received information from Vu Thi T. (born in 1966, residing in An Hai Nam ward, Son Tra district, Da Nang city) that her daughter-in-law, who is currently living abroad, had her Facebook account hacked by an unknown individual.
The perpetrator, impersonating Ms. T.’s daughter-in-law, sent messages to Ms. T. claiming to be providing a money transfer service for overseas Vietnamese. The scammer requested that Ms. T. transfer money to the recipient’s family, after which the recipient would return the money to Ms. T.’s daughter-in-law.
Believing this to be true, Ms. T. transferred 490 million VND to the account provided by the perpetrator. Through their investigation, the police identified Nguyen Van Duc as the prime suspect.

The authorities have confiscated six mobile phones of various models, 154 million VND in cash, and 10 savings books totaling 1.3 billion VND from Duc.
