HANOI: Hundreds of police in Vietnam on Monday raided the Ho Chi Minh City offices of F88 Investment JSC, the country's biggest pawn shop operator, following public complaints about "administrative violations", the Ministry of Public Security said.
Some of the 830 shops operated by F88 had been found overcharging clients with extra fees, the police-run ministry said, while online newspaper VnExpress reported the company had used "extortion" methods in debt collection.
