Fraud investigations in Vietnam
Overview
Authorities in Vietnam have conducted separate arrests related to different fraudulent activities.
In Da Nang, police issued a detention warrant for Pham Nhat Tuan following allegations of fraudulent appropriation of property. Investigations suggest Tuan used a Telegram group and a website to engage in cryptocurrency and stock investments. Between July 2025 and February 2026, he reportedly borrowed approximately 2 billion VND from various individuals and banks. He is also accused of misappropriating 1.4 billion VND from an acquaintance through false information.
In Ho Chi Minh City, police in Xuan Thoi Son Commune detained Nguyen Trong Nghia and Nguyen Thi Ngoc Tuyet for allegedly defrauding local vendors. The pair reportedly targeted small merchants, such as vegetable sellers, by creating distractions to falsely claim they had provided large banknotes and demanding change for money that was never actually handed over.
