Police in Ho Chi Minh city are looking for a restaurant owner, Thi Hong Phuong, 37, also known as Trang for an alleged card fraud in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam.

Trang allegedly committed a fraud when an Australian man, Caracciolo David John, dined at her Nightfall restaurant, located on Thai Van Lung Street in District 1 on August 11. The staff at the diner asked that there was a problem with the POS reading device, and asked that Join enter his pin code multiple times, while the diner remove money from his account.
