Dozens of foreigners, hundreds of electronic devices and a closed operating system are secretly gathered in many localities, and in just a few steps, a transnational "fraudulent factory" will officially operate in Vietnamese territory.
But that conspiracy was stopped.
Phu Tho Provincial Police have neutralized a high-tech crime apparatus right from the time it was not yet in operation, protecting thousands, even tens of thousands of people from the risk of becoming victims of online fraud.
The investigation results show that the subjects originated from foreign fraud organizations. This is a line operating under the professional criminal enterprise model.
The dismantling of this line before they could set traps is a particularly remarkable feat of the police force.
Proactively detect early, from afar, firmly grasp the situation and dismantle it as soon as the subjects are in the preparation phase. That is the most effective way to fight high-tech crime.
Because, when fraud lines have come into operation, the damage is often very large. Many victims lose all their life-saved assets after just a few clicks.
Many people are lured to invest in finance, virtual currency, fake stocks, online jobs or online relationships and then are appropriated hundreds of millions, even billions of dong.
However, from this crackdown, it is also a strong warning.
Transnational criminal organizations are still trying every way to move their operating areas, taking advantage of technology, cyberspace and the gullibility of a part of the population to commit illegal acts.
Therefore, the fight against fraud is not only the task of functional forces. Accommodation establishments such as hotels, guesthouses, homestays, farmstays, and resorts need to improve their responsibility in customer management.
If a group of people renting the entire area for a long time, living in a closed environment, restricting external contact, installing many electronic devices or showing signs of abnormality is detected, it is necessary to promptly notify the government and the police agency.
When the whole community proactively prevents, even sophisticated technology traps are difficult to work.
The Phu Tho Provincial Police's dismantling of the transnational crime ring right from the preparation stage is proof of the spirit of proactively attacking crime, not allowing the formation of "land to live" for fraud groups.
The victory of Phu Tho Police contributes to protecting the peace of society and raising people's awareness and trust in the law.
