Authorities in Bac Ninh province have investigated a fraud case involving Duong Quang Thang, who is accused of stealing over 2 billion VND from an Indian national. The victim, SK Saphiruddi, had intended to sell more than 115kg of hair for a total value exceeding 2 billion VND.

Investigators report that Thang received a portion of the payment in cash but used forged bank transaction images to convince the seller that the remaining balance had been transferred. The deception was uncovered when the funds did not appear in the recipient's account. The Bac Ninh Provincial Police Investigation Agency has characterized the actions as the crime of “fraudulent appropriation of property” and has seized hair, mobile phones, and documents related to the fake transactions.
