Information from the Hoa Phu Commune Police (Chiem Hoa District, Tuyen Quang), this unit has just promptly prevented people from transferring 500 million VND to the scammer.
Accordingly, the authorities received feedback about Ms. T (residing in Hoa Phu commune) intending to transfer money to an acquaintance via Facebook to invest in virtual currency.
After receiving the report, the unit coordinated with the transaction office of Agribank Hoa Phu branch to propagate and explain, promptly preventing Ms. T from transferring money.
Before that, Ms. T had made friends with a strange account on Facebook. After a period of talking, the subject invited Ms. T to invest in a virtual currency exchange.
When Ms. T transferred 50 million VND, the subject reported a mistake in the transaction and asked to transfer 500 million VND to withdraw the money. At this time, the family discovered and advised her, but Ms. T did not believe it, so she asked the police for help.
