I couldn't find anything online to substantiate his calling himself a doctor.
Does he have a PhD or MD? Otherwise that's fraudulent.

he probably has a doctorate degree in maths either in Australia or overseas (just a blind guess)

"Doctors" are usually considered doctors either if their a practicing medical "doctor" or have a "doctorate degree"

I guess where I'm coming from is, sometimes amongst asians (not racist; I'm asian myself), there is a tendency to false advertise your qualifications.
Like calling yourself a lecturer vs. just being a tutor.

I know what doctor officially means, but often doctors post their qualifications up to substantiate it. But couldn't find any for Dr Du.

Is that a fair characterisation? There are cons in any community.

Dr Du if he is entitled to use of the address 'Dr' probably has a PhD. But Dr Truong, from what I read, is a medical doctor, who happens to be good in maths.

Suppose Dr Du is a con 'Dr', but is extremely good in mathematics, would you then not sign up with him?

Dr Du has a PHD in the mathematical analysis of the way of going through the most green lines in a straight line. (Or something like that it is about the mathematical analysis of a real life problem). I thought that it was just a name but he really does have a PHD.

Ps. Former student and it was part of our Trivia at Dr Du grad

Apologies for necroing an old thread as I've just found evidence to the Research Thesis that Dr Du had done together with Alan Nicholson to obtain his PhD.
