Hundreds of Vietnamese reportedly lose $280,000 in Australia air ticket scam
Initial investigation found that the woman, known as Vi Tran, cheated at least 317 Vietnamese students, who wanted to buy Vietnam Airlines tickets to return home for the coming Tet Lunar New Year holidays. Tran offered to help them book the tickets at cheap prices. Each student would receive a reservation code from Tran after sending money to her account. However, Tran allegedly canceled the bookings soon later, before the tickets were officially issued. Many students in Melbourne and Sydney were denied when trying to check in at airports. Mai Hoang, one of the victims, said she had paid a total of AU$8,000 to buy tickets for herself and her family. She only realized that she was scammed one day before her travel.

Vietnamese woman found guilty in Australia air ticket scam
A Vietnamese woman who swindled roughly A$466,000 (US$359,000) from more than 300 Vietnamese students in Australia in an air ticket scam early this year has been sentenced to 18 months of home detention. My Truc Le was also ordered to serve 32 hours of community work each month and pay compensation of an amount up to the maximum allowed to be ordered in the Local Court – A$100,000 (US$77,000), New South Wales Sergeant Bennett Nolan told Le’s victims in a letter sent on Tuesday. However, Nolan said that it is very unlikely that most of the victims would be getting any of their money back. “This is because even when an order is made at court, if the offender cannot pay the money then it just becomes an unpaid debt,” he said in the letter. The policeman said while the victims can pursue the matter through their own civil claim, “if the offender has no money left then this is often very difficult.” New South Wales police began investigating Le in early … [Read more...] about Vietnamese woman found guilty in Australia air ticket scam
