[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Woo-seok] A Vietnamese migrant woman in her 30s was arrested for defrauding thousands of dollars from another migrant woman through a fund investment scam.

On the 9th, the Naju Police Station in Jeollanam-do announced that they had arrested Ms. A (30) on charges of fraud for borrowing 70 million won from a Vietnamese migrant woman and failing to repay it.

Ms. A is accused of meeting Ms. B (30) at a migrant women's club in Naju last May, borrowing 70 million won, and not repaying it for over a year. When Ms. B threatened to report her to the police, Ms. A reportedly returned part of the money.

It was investigated that Ms. A borrowed the money from Ms. B under the pretext of fund investment. During this process, she also deceived Ms. B by promising high interest returns on the fund investment.

Ms. A is known to have used the borrowed money for personal debt repayment and living expenses.

The police are conducting an investigation into additional crimes based on the fact that Ms. A does not have a specific occupation.
