On February 23, the Criminal Police Department of Thua Thien - Hue Provincial Police announced that the unit had just arrested Tran Phuoc Trong Nhan (born in 1996, residing in A Luoi district, Thua Thien - Hue province) for fraud and property appropriation.
Previously, at the end of January 2024, through Facebook, Tran Phuoc Trong Nhan read information that an acquaintance had violated the law and was being detained by the police for investigation.
Nhan proactively contacted the family of the above-mentioned criminal and lied that he had connections with the authorities and could help get a reduced sentence.
Believing him, the family of the criminal gave Nhan 500 million VND to take care of the matter. However, in reality, Nhan could not do what he promised.

Nhan's purpose in providing false information was to appropriate the above amount of money for personal use, to buy a car and pay off debts. Fearing being discovered and reported to the authorities, Nhan then proactively pawned his car for 200 million to return to the victim's family in order to cover up his illegal actions.
However, after receiving the victim's report, the police quickly investigated, verified and arrested Tran Phuoc Trong Nhan for fraud and property appropriation.
Previously, a similar fraud method to the above case also occurred in Thua Thien - Hue and was investigated and solved by the police force.
Specifically, Dao Duy Thanh (born in 1993, residing in Thai Duong Ha Bac village, Hai Duong commune, Hue city, Thua Thien - Hue province) learned that a relative of Ms. Tran Thi M (born in 2000, residing in Phu Thuong ward, Hue city) was temporarily detained by the police for illegal possession of drugs.
Because he had no money to spend, Thanh asked Ms. M that Thanh had connections with the police and that the Procuracy would ask for Ms. M's relatives to be released from prison early... On June 8, 2023, Thanh asked Ms. M to transfer 80 million VND to Thanh. On July 4, 2023, Thanh continued to ask Ms. M to transfer another 30 million VND.
Thanh used all the money for personal use. After a while, Ms. M realized she had been scammed and reported it to the police.
On October 31, 2023, the Hue City Police Investigation Agency verified, clarified and carried out procedures to temporarily detain Thanh for handling in accordance with the provisions of law.
