A local media reported that Michael Ikechukwu Leonard, 45, was convicted on Thursday of “deceiving others to steal their assets” in a scam which targeted wealthy Vietnamese women. The court in Can Tho city determined that Leonard gained his victims’ trust on messaging apps using various alter egos, including a U.S. army officer. The convict was said to have promised to send his victims valuable presents, including laptops and jewellery from the U.S. Local accomplices, Huynh Ha Binh, Huynh Ha Uyen and Nguyen Tran Quynh Nhi, would then contact the women claiming to be customs agents and demand fees or fines for the non-existent shipments. They successfully conned a woman in Can Tho out of 28,500 dollars, leading to their arrest. It is unclear how many women were duped by the gang in total. Leonard’s accomplices received sentences ranging from 12 to 15 years. NAN]]>
