Authorities in Dien Bien Province announced that a cross-border high-tech fraud ring operating online was dismantled in Phiêng Ngam, Ton Phăng District, Bokeo Province, Laos. The investigation said the group, led by Chinese nationals with Vietnamese accomplices, moved from Cambodia to Laos in roughly 20 days—from mid-March to early April 2026—to continue its criminal activity.
Investigators found that over about 20 days, the ring defrauded more than 5,000 victims and stole more than 15 billion dong. The defendants used a combination of fake websites, numerous fake social media accounts, and roaming SIM cards to contact victims.

After receiving initial transfers, the criminals claimed there had been mistaken service registration and threatened monthly charges. They then prompted victims to click fake links and transfer money to cancel services. According to the investigation, the fraudsters followed a rehearsed script to gradually seize victims’ assets, including encouraging some victims to take out loans. After extracting funds, the criminals cut off communications and stole all money.
On the evening of April 10, 2026, the investigative team arrested 55 Vietnamese and 4 Chinese suspects. Authorities said the alleged mastermind, Dương Văn Hà, was operating in a shared office space in Laos. Investigators seized hundreds of electronic devices, roaming SIM cards, computers, and detailed scam scripts organized like an underground enterprise.
After the arrests, the 55 Vietnamese suspects and the confiscated materials were escorted back to Vietnam via the Tay Trang border crossing in the early hours of April 12 for further investigation. The four Chinese nationals were handed over to Lao authorities for processing under Lao law.
