11 Arrested in Vietnam as Authorities Dismantle Major International Online Scam Network πŸ‡»πŸ‡³

Vietnamese authorities arrested 11 suspects during a major operation targeting an international cyber fraud network that allegedly scammed victims out of more than 120 billion VND across multiple provinces.

The investigation began after a woman in Hue reported losing approximately 3.9 billion VND in an online scam. Authorities from Thα»«a ThiΓͺn-HuαΊΏ Provincial Police, working alongside the Ministry of Public Security and Ho Chi Minh City police, launched a coordinated investigation that eventually led to a series of arrests in Ho Chi Minh City.

According to investigators, the group consisted of 7 Nigerian nationals and 4 Vietnamese accomplices. Police alleged that the network was involved in multiple forms of online fraud, including romance scams, phishing operations, social media account takeovers, and impersonation schemes.

Authorities stated that members of the group posed as wealthy foreigners, businesspeople, or military personnel on social media platforms. Victims were allegedly persuaded to send money for fake customs fees, investment opportunities, or the release of valuable gifts that never existed.

Investigators also alleged that the network used phishing links and stolen banking credentials to gain access to victims' accounts. In some cases, scammers reportedly impersonated police officers, prosecutors, or customs officials in an attempt to pressure victims into transferring funds.

Police identified a Nigerian national known as "Dalaxy Dave" as the alleged mastermind behind the operation. Investigators stated that he was coordinating activities from Cambodia while associates in Vietnam allegedly assisted with local banking infrastructure and financial transactions.

The case remains one of the more notable cybercrime investigations carried out in Vietnam and highlights the growing sophistication of international scam networks operating across Southeast Asia.

As online fraud continues to evolve, authorities encourage the public to remain cautious when dealing with strangers online, unexpected investment opportunities, and requests for money from individuals they have never met in person.
