Recently, the Cau Giay District Police (Hanoi) dismantled a group of fraudsters who appropriated assets, led by Pho Duc Nam (Mr. Pips). According to the investigation team, Pho Duc Nam is a person who has been trained in information technology, has knowledge of finance and securities, and especially has very good foreign language skills.
To build his reputation, Mr Pips often shows off expensive supercars and sports cars on social networks.
