The transnational fraud ring in the form of Bitcoin cryptocurrency investment and TikTok task fraud has caused particularly serious damage to many victims.
On February 13, Nguyen The Anh, 29 years old, residing in Yen Bai, and 55 others were prosecuted and detained by Ha Tinh Provincial Police for fraud and property appropriation under Article 174 of the Penal Code.
According to the investigation, The Anh joined the fraud organization in the Philippines from April 2023, taking on the role of manager and operator of all activities of dozens of Vietnamese people under the direction of a foreign boss.
The Anh's group created fake social media accounts, pretending to be successful businessmen, showing off images of wealth to gain trust from their "prey". After getting acquainted, they enticed them to download the UNISAT application, participate in investing in BTC cryptocurrency with a minimum of 8 million VND to enjoy high profits.
At first, this group allowed participants to withdraw both principal and interest to gain trust. When the "prey" invested a larger amount, they used the excuse of system errors, taxes, insurance fees, etc. to ask for more money, then cut off contact and appropriated the money.
The Anh's group also let their "henchmen" make friends with many TikTok users, lure them into doing tasks to enjoy the difference, then use tricks to take all the money.
According to the police, The Anh clearly assigned tasks to each member of the ring. When a "prey" joined, the team leader would provide a scam script and instruct the staff to interact. The "backstage" department controlled the transaction and decided whether or not to allow the victim to withdraw money.
Among the victims "falling into the trap", many people come from Ha Tinh.
Receiving the accusation, Ha Tinh Provincial Police launched an investigation. In late 2024 and mid-January 2025, Vietnamese and Cambodian authorities coordinated to raid the scam group's den in the capital Phnom Penh, arresting 30 people. The remaining 26 suspects were arrested at Tan Son Nhat and Noi Bai airports while entering Vietnam.
Authorities accused this ring of defrauding thousands of Vietnamese victims, appropriating hundreds of billions of dong.
The case is under further investigation.
