Creating "ghost" customer files to defraud the company of more than 5 billion VND

On October 12, Da Nang City Police announced that they had issued decisions to prosecute defendant Tran Nhu Quynh (39 years old, residing in Hai Chau district) for the crime of Fraudulent appropriation of property.

According to initial information, Quynh is a collaborator of an investment consulting company, supporting customers in applying for study and travel visas, headquartered in Ha Dong district (Hanoi).

According to the labor contract, Quynh is given cash, bank transfer or savings book by the company to support customers in carrying out financial proof procedures (by opening a savings book or confirming the balance in the bank account) when customers want to travel or study abroad.

When completing the procedure for the customer, Quynh must pay off and is responsible for returning the money and savings book to the company.

In early May, Quynh provided false information about a number of individuals who needed to prove their financial status so that the company would trust them and transfer money.

Quynh did not carry out financial verification procedures (because these were fake customers) but appropriated this money for personal use. The police accused Quynh of appropriating more than 5 billion VND from the company.
