ĐỒNG THÁP — A 20-year-old woman from Cà Mau Province has been arrested for allegedly operating a fraudulent charity scheme using fake social media accounts.

Huỳnh Phương Thủy was nabbed in Đồng Nai Province by the Đồng Tháp Province police on Thursday.

She admitted to using multiple fake Facebook accounts with different names to solicit donations.

She would post in various groups, claiming to be raising funds for charitable causes but pocketed all the money, she said.

She collected VNĐ140 million and used the money for her personal expenses, according to investigators.

Đồng Tháp authorities have recently found several cases involving fake charity appeals on social media.

The police recommend that people should verify the legitimacy of donation requests to avoid scams. — VNS
