On 12/3, Van, residing in Dong Nai, was indicted by Dak Lak Provincial Police and prohibited from leaving her residence on charges of fraudulent appropriation of property.

According to the investigation, in 12/2025, facing business losses, Van conceived a plan to embezzle money. Exploiting a business relationship with a woman selling seafood in Tuy Hoa ward, Van would make bank transfers for purchases but intentionally remove three zeros from the end of the amount. Consequently, payments of 9-11 million VND were reduced to just 9-11 thousand VND.

After transferring the money, Van would send a screenshot of the transaction via Zalo to the seller. A few minutes later, she would recall the image and message, "I have transferred enough money, sister."

Trusting Van, the seafood seller did not check the balance changes in her account. Over nearly one month, Van employed this scheme 15 times, embezzling over 140 million VND.

When her scheme was discovered, Van blocked communication and fled.
