Online consumer fraud investigations in Vietnam
Overview
Authorities in Vietnam are investigating separate instances of online fraud involving social media platforms. In Lam Dong province, police are investigating Cao Thi My Linh for the alleged fraudulent appropriation of property. Linh reportedly used various Facebook accounts to pose as a major supplier of agricultural products, such as vegetables and fruits, to secure payments from customers before severing contact.
In Dong Nai, police have prosecuted nine individuals as part of an investigation into an online business ring. The group allegedly used Facebook livestreams to sell dietary supplements and cosmetics of questionable origin, some of which had previously been subject to recall orders. The investigation into this ring, which involved Thanh Tra Express Co., Ltd., also includes charges of illegal invoice trading and tax evasion.
