On June 14, Quang Ninh Provincial Police informed that the Investigation Police Agency of the Provincial Police had just issued a Decision to temporarily detain Phung Thi Minh Hang (born in 1985, residing in Bach Dang Commune, Thuy Nguyen City) for fraud and appropriation of property.
According to the police, in March 2025, because she needed money to serve the business of playing and investing in foreign exchange (Forex), Phung Thi Minh Hang gave false information, not really having a short-term savings book, customers need to withdraw money immediately and tell victims to mobilize money to pay in advance to customers to enjoy the interest rate of the savings book.
To create more trust, Hang also created a fake Zalo account to create fake conversations about raising capital from bank leaders to send to victims.
From March to April 2025, Hang received 3.5 billion VND from the victim. The entire amount of money above, most of which Hang used to play, invested in the Forex exchange and lost all, is now unable to recover.
Currently, the Investigation Police Agency of Quang Ninh Province Police is continuing to collect documents and evidence to clarify Phung Thi Minh Hang's criminal acts.
