TAY NINH: The People's Court of Tay Ninh Province has sentenced 38 defendants involved in an online fraud ring to prison terms ranging from three years on probation to 12 years in prison, after a four-day trial.
From October 2022 to January 2023, the company moved its headquarters to Building H, King Crow Area, also in Cambodia. The defendants' role was to use the internet to defraud Vietnamese citizens via several methods. From March to July 2022, sales staff worked independently, managing computers and phones to communicate with victims through calls or messages on platforms such as Zalo, Facebook and Telegram. They persuaded victims to create accounts on fake Shopee or Lazada sites to place orders.
When victims requested withdrawals, the sales and back-end staff would come up with excuses for why they could not get their money back, such as system errors or incorrect bank account details. They would insist on more funds, threatening to forfeit the already transferred money and interest.
