Promised to "run" work for teachers to embezzle nearly 1 billion VND

(Dan Tri) - Losing money in real estate investment, Tram in Lam Dong impersonated an education official to defraud and appropriate nearly 1 billion VND from many teachers.

On December 16, Lam Dong Provincial Police announced that they had arrested Duong Thi Le Tram, 30 years old, residing in Phu Hoi Commune, Duc Trong District, Lam Dong, to investigate the act of fraud and property appropriation.

By October 2023, due to losses in real estate investment, Tram had the intention of defrauding and appropriating people's property.

Tram then made a name tag, claiming to be from the Lam Dong province education sector, and then met with teachers who wanted to transfer to another work unit to "run" the job.

Trusting Tram, 11 teachers in Lam Dong transferred money to her to "run errands". The police determined that Tram had defrauded and appropriated from the victims a total of nearly 1 billion VND.

Working with the police, Duong Thi Le Tram initially confessed to her actions.
