Asset misappropriation fraud via real estate trading
Recently, in the province, many people were deceived in real estate trading, typically the following case: At the end of 2018, Mr. Do Van Nhat's family bought a lot of land in block D1 - lot no. 10 in the An Dien 1 residential Project of SP Land Real Estate Company with an amount of VND 460 million, ground area of 80m2. The contract also stated that after 9 months, the company must hand over the land to his family. However, at the end of the commitment period, the company continued to make promises and delay. After that, he and his family went to the company many times to get money back, but the company representative only promised to pay. "When being asked too much, the company makes a minutes of contract liquidation to return the land purchase amount. But up to the present time, the company only paid VND 70 million to Mr. Nhat and promised him to have a meet, but Nhat went to the company and did not meet anyone; when Mr. Nhat called, the Company promised to return after a few weeks".
The subjects' tricks are often via a very roundabout sales manner. The subject will offer in many forms, to seduce customers but cannot give the necessary information about the project such as legal documents, investment information or area, information about the project area for buyers. When customers ask them to provide the information, customers will receive answers such as confidential information, so it cannot be arbitrarily disclosed, they will provide after a while. Through the above case, the people are recommended that when dealing with property of great value such as land, houses and other properties, they should pay attention to the legal status, with full papers, check information before making a transaction, should not listen to the teller, in addition, need to check through contact with people near the location the customer wants to buy or local authorities for timely resolution.
Break car glass to steal property
Recently, there have been many cases of car glass breaking to steal property, taking advantage of the empty road, no one looking after the car, the subjects quickly break the glass and take away the property inside the car quickly. Recently in the province, there have been some following cases: On June 28, 29, 2020 and July 16, 17, 2020, in the area of Hiep Thanh ward, Hoa Phu ward, Phu Loi ward, Thu Dau Mot city, 04 consecutive cases of property thefts happened with methods and tricks of taking advantage of people's loopholes in the preservation of property on automotive vehicles, using sharp objects to break the car glass and steal the property. The damage was estimated at VND 900 million, 01 OPPO mobile phone, 1 Macbook air laptop of USD 1,225, and cash of USD 1,000.
Through a number of recent incidents, it shows that the subjects' tricks are often roaming on the roads where many cars are parked, taking advantage of the victims' loophole not looking after the vehicles, empty road and using a tool to break the car glass and take the owner's property in the car. The activities of these subjects usually take place at night and dawn, when people are asleep to commit criminal acts, taking advantage of families with no car parking and often parking on sidewalks, in front of the house, without person to look after, and then commit the property theft in the car. The above trick shows that the subjects commit the crimes very simply and fast, so that the people need to take measures to protect their property.
In addition, when intending to stop the car to do anything, the vehicle owner must pay attention not to leave the car in a secluded place, out of sight and unattended. In particular, should not leave the amount of money and assets of great value in the car without person to look after.
To protect the property in the car, the owner must always be conscious of protecting his/her property by limiting parking in secluded areas. Because the secluded terrain is very convenient for professional car thieves to work. Also, not leaving your vehicle's secondary keys or valuables or vehicle documents in the car when leaving the vehicle for too long. These objects will stimulate the greed of thieves and make them easier to steal. Especially wallets, bags, phones (brands) should not be kept in the car and must equip the car with safe items when you want to keep things in the car.
Installing surveillance cameras on the cars, security alarms and data transmission to personal phones. Immediately notifying the public security when detecting a crime suspect. Simultaneously, business owners, parking lots, schools are responsible for organizing car protection for customers and regularly reminding vehicle owners or drivers not to let valuable assets in the car.
Black credit (loan via mobile app)
In recent years, the Ministry of Public Security has successfully eradicated a group of Chinese people operating in usury in Ho Chi Minh City and southern provinces through a mobile app (referred to as "app"). This group hired a business license holder, the legal representative of the company and created an online loan app such as "Vaytocdo", "Moreloan", "VD online" with interest rates up to 1600%/year. In a short time, this group has provided loans of VND 100 billion via the above 3 apps, with about 60,000 transactions.
In fact, it is found that people do not have access to formal financial services, despite a great need for loans. In particular, small-sized consumer loans are currently ignored by banks, financial companies, and credit funds and this has become a fertile ground for black credit to be lucrative. When the subjects and gangs of black credit activities are destroyed outside of society, these subjects and gangs have quickly moved to online activities with the support of information technology and are crueler than before. Most victims of loan service via black credit app are difficult to escape when caught in the trap, thereby arising a lot of negative consequences in the society.
In Binh Duong province, until now, there has not received the report of people related to the loan activity via app. However, with the fact that advertisements calling for loan with quick procedures appear in a multitude of ways and are crowding social media users, he/she just accepts a loan and then provides a photo, ID card or household registry with a bank account number to complete the document simply. The popular interest rate for lending via app is advertised fluctuating around 16%/year, but this is just a trick to trap borrowers and circumvent the law of the subjects (legal regulations on maximum loan interest rate not exceeding 20%/year). However, in addition these apps also charge a lot of entrance fees, plus interest rates, it can be up to 1,600%/year.
