Four of the 14 Vietnamese suspects in police custody in Dong Nai Province, southern Vietnam over their involvement in a Cambodia-based, Vietnamese-led scam ring that allegedly cheated thousands of victims across Vietnam out of nearly US$97 million. The three key suspects were arrested in late December 2025 during coordinated raids on facilities in Dong Nai, Tay Ninh Province, and Ho Chi Minh City. Exhibits seized by police in Dong Nai, southern Vietnam, including gold-colored rings, land use right certificates, and a car, from a Cambodia-based, Vietnamese-led scam ring that allegedly targeted thousands of victims across Vietnam. Preliminary findings show the ring defrauded more than VND2.5 trillion ($96.7 million) from thousands of victims across Vietnam, including around 150 in Dong Nai alone. Authorities have called on those implicated in the racket to turn themselves in for leniency and urged victims to contact Dong Nai police at 0251.3685134 to assist with the ongoing investigation.
