Message with instructions on how to pay investment fees
According to a warning from the Hanoi City Police, recently there has been a trick of impersonating the Carlyle VN Investment Fund to commit fraud. There have been victims who have invested and had nearly 2 billion VND appropriated.
The victim said he was guided to invest through the Carlyle VN Investment Fund application. When participating in livestreams, investors are given money, introduced to many incentive packages by the "teacher", with many recommended codes, and guided to invest in stocks that have increased sharply in price. According to the advertisement, investors who trade in the fund can receive money into their investment account immediately after placing a closing order and can place a withdrawal order immediately, much faster than regular trading floors.
The "teachers" advertised huge interest rates of 500 - 800% by using leverage. The victims were instructed to buy the trading stock code "...x5" with a minimum deposit of more than 200 million VND. After depositing the money, the subjects continued to offer the trading stock code "...x8". Depositing 200 million VND, the victims received many times more shares and were required to freeze their accounts and not be allowed to trade if they did not deposit the remaining amount. The victims transferred an additional 400 million VND to make up the remaining amount.
When the victim could not withdraw money, the subjects asked to transfer the annual fee (25% of the total previous profit) so that the victim could continue to transfer 200 million VND. Then they asked to pay the account usage fee for VIP members which is 15% of the total amount deposited (200 million VND); pay value added tax of 10% of the profit (150 million VND); pay 10% referral fee when opening an account. Having to pay too many investment fees without being able to withdraw money, the victim then realized that he had been scammed and reported it to the police.
