This study aims to better understand transnational computer fraud in Vietnam utilizing crime script analysis. Data from criminal profiles and in-depth interviews with investigators were combined, and the results showed that Vietnam could become an operational base for both domestic and foreign criminals to implement transnational computer fraud. This type of fraud, which includes crimes with only minor technological elements and those involving almost entirely technological factors, represents the intersection of fraud, transnationality, and technology. Technology can support criminals in defrauding victims transnationally without the need for direct interaction. Moreover, the study clarified the different roles of Vietnamese and foreign offenders in the two types of transnational computer fraud: bank card data fraud and phone scams. As the first study of this nature implemented in Vietnam, this research contributes to the knowledge of computer fraud, especially in Asia, providing a foundation for future investigations related to this kind of cybercrime.

本研究旨在利用犯罪脚本分析更好地了解越南的跨国计算机欺诈。结合犯罪档案数据和对调查人员的深入采访，结果表明，越南可以成为国内外犯罪分子实施跨国计算机欺诈的操作基地。此类欺诈包括仅具有轻微技术要素的犯罪和几乎完全涉及技术要素的犯罪，代表了欺诈、跨国和技术的交叉点。技术可以支持犯罪分子在不需要直接互动的情况下跨国诈骗受害者。此外，该研究阐明了越南和外国罪犯在两种跨国计算机欺诈中的不同角色：银行卡数据欺诈和电话欺诈。
