According to An Dung Commune Police, on the afternoon of April 3, Ms. N.T.L (46 years old, residing in Dai An village, An Dung commune) went to the Commune Police to verify if a strange account with a foreign name had signs of fraud.
According to Ms. L, after she became friends on Facebook with an account named MARK HENRY, this person introduced himself as having Japanese nationality but living in the Netherlands.
During the process of texting and chatting from March 23 until now, that man flirted with her and said he would send her a large amount of goods including perfume, shoes, and dollars.
However, to receive the gift, the subject said that he had to pay 70 million VND. Because she did not have money and wanted to determine whether the man was a scammer, Ms. L went to ask the An Dung Commune Police.
After being explained by the police that it was a scam on the internet, Ms. L understood and unfriended the other scammer on Facebook.
