On October 3, information from the Investigation Police Agency of Kim Thanh District (Hai Duong) said that they had just issued a decision to prosecute Hoang Thi Hong (48 years old, residing in Loc Hoa Ward, Nam Dinh City, Nam Dinh Province - currently residing in Lam Ha Ward, Kien An District, Hai Phong City) to investigate the act of fraud and appropriation of property, when impersonating the girlfriend of the victim's son.

Previously, on September 23, the Investigation Police Agency of Kim Thanh District received a report that from June 28 to August 26, Hong had defrauded and appropriated property in the area.

The investigation results determined that Hong was a worker at a company located in Tam Ky commune (Kim Thanh district). During his time working at the company, Hong met Ms. VTH (65 years old). Through conversation, Ms. H. told Hong that she had a son named NTX (40 years old) who was currently unmarried.

In June 2023, Hong told Ms. H. that she had a friend named Hien (40 years old), currently single, living in Hai Phong City (whom Hong would impersonate to deceive Ms. H.) who wanted to introduce her to Mr. X.

Mrs. H. agreed. Hong gave her current phone number and told Mrs. H. that this was Hien's phone number to give to Mr. X. to add and talk to.

Receiving his mother's phone number, Mr. X. made friends via the social network Zalo with the account "Hien Hp" impersonated by Hong. When Mrs. H. and her children believed him, Hong used the name of Hien 6 times to swindle Mrs. H.'s money and property, totaling 56.7 million VND in cash and a pair of earrings worth 2 taels of gold.

In mid-September 2023, suspecting Hong of fraud and property appropriation, Ms. H. and her son reported to the police. It is known that Hong has a previous conviction for child trafficking and was released from prison in September 2020.

The case of impersonating the son's girlfriend to defraud the mother is being further investigated and clarified by the Investigation Police Agency of Kim Thanh District.
