On May 13, Thuong Bang La Commune Police, Lao Cai province, said that the unit had just successfully supported a case of mistaken transfer, helping people in Hai Phong city to receive back the full amount of money that was mistakenly transferred.
Previously, Mr. Tran Van Dong (born in 2000, residing in Yen Hung village, Thuong Bang La commune) suddenly received 2 million VND transferred to his personal account from a strange account.
Recognizing signs of mistaken transfer, Mr. Dong proactively went to Thuong Bang La Commune Police to report and requested support for verification to return it to the transferee.
Immediately after receiving the information, the Thuong Bang La Commune Police force quickly intervened to verify, and at the same time coordinated with the bank and the police agency where the account holder resided to clarify the incident.
Through verification, functional agencies identified the person who mistakenly transferred money as Ms. Vu Thi Bich, residing in Phu Lien ward, Hai Phong city. After being contacted, Mr. Tran Van Dong voluntarily returned the full amount to Ms. Bich.
Receiving the mistakenly transferred money back, Ms. Bich expressed her joy and sent thanks to Thuong Bang La Commune Police and Mr. Tran Van Dong for their sense of responsibility and honesty in handling the case.
According to Thuong Bang La Commune Police, recently there have been many cases of people mistakenly transferring money due to negligence in the transaction process.
Therefore, people need to carefully check the recipient's information before making money transfers, especially the account number and account holder's name.
In case of detecting a wrong transfer, people need to quickly contact the nearest bank and police agency for timely support and handling.
At the same time, functional forces also advise people to absolutely not provide bank account information, passwords or OTP codes to strangers to avoid being exploited by subjects for fraud and appropriation of property.
