Banking fraud cases in Vietnam

Overview

Recent legal actions in Vietnam have addressed separate instances of financial fraud involving individuals impersonating or leveraging banking roles.

In Hanoi, Vu Ngoc Cuong was sentenced to 17 years and 6 months in prison for a scheme that defrauded a victim of 3.2 billion VND. Cuong posed as a PVcombank employee and used counterfeit savings books and intercepted OTP codes to misappropriate funds. He had reportedly repaid 2.1 billion VND of the stolen amount.

In Da Nang, authorities arrested Nguyen Dang Duy, a former bank employee, for the abuse of trust. Duy allegedly defrauded a victim of nearly 2 billion VND by using his professional relationship to request funds under the pretext of facilitating bank loan renewals. Investigators found that Duy used the borrowed money to cover other debts and third-party loans.
