PC01 Bac Ninh issues a urgent notice to find victims of the USDT scam

The Investigation Police Agency PC01 of Bac Ninh Province Police has just decided to prosecute a case related to fraud and appropriation of assets. Two Chinese nationals have been temporarily detained, and authorities are actively searching for other victims involved.

According to PC01’s investigation documents, the suspects are Bi Shuang and Cui Feiyang, both born in 1998, Chinese nationals. They have committed multiple cases of high-value cash and phone thefts in Bac Ninh Province.

Two Chinese suspects stole nearly 200 million VND via social media

The motive for the crime stemmed from lack of money for expenses. The two agreed to use WeChat to approach individuals needing to transact large assets. They then devised sophisticated scam scenarios to steal from victims.

Using similar methods, the suspects caused two serious incidents:

First case (January 8, 2026): Bi Shuang and Cui Feiyang pretended to need to exchange USDT cryptocurrency for Vietnamese dong to meet Mr. Liu Wei. After receiving 120 million VND, Bi Shuang claimed to leave, while Cui Feiyang took the victim to Cảnh Đêm Hồ Sen (286 Hàn Thuyên Street, Kinh Bắc Ward). Taking advantage of the victim eating and drinking, Cui Feiyang escaped through the back door.

Second case (January 26, 2026): The two used a similar scenario to meet Mr. Wang Chang Liang at a coffee shop, pretending to want to buy three iPhones—two iPhone 17 Pro Max and one iPhone 14 Pro Max, worth about 93 million VND. After inspecting the phones, they lured the victim to a restaurant and then attempted to escape.

USDT scam scenario uncovered and handled by PC01

At the police headquarters, both suspects admitted to all criminal behaviors. The stolen assets were sold to phone shops, then split among themselves for personal use.

PC01 is continuing to expand the investigation to determine how many other victims were scammed by these suspects. Authorities are calling on victims of the USDT impersonation scam to contact and provide information.

PC01 prosecutes and cooperates internationally

Due to the involvement of foreign elements, the Office of the Bac Ninh Provincial People’s Committee has sent an official letter to the Chinese Embassy in Vietnam requesting cooperation in verifying the suspects’ identities and criminal records, as well as implementing procedures to protect citizens according to international regulations.

Currently, PC01 of Bac Ninh Police has issued decisions to prosecute and detain Bi Shuang and Cui Feiyang for further investigation. The agency urges the public to be highly vigilant against scams via social media platforms like WeChat, and advises against conducting asset transactions with strangers online.
