On the afternoon of April 12, Ms. Phan Thi Thanh Ngoc (residing in Ward 2 (Bao Loc City, Lam Dong) coordinated with the police to complete the procedures to return the amount of 3.5 billion VND to her family in Thai Binh province that had been mistakenly transferred to her account.
Previously, on the night of April 11, Ms. Phan Thi Thanh Ngoc suddenly received a notice of balance fluctuations from the bank's application, with an additional amount of 3.5 billion VND.
Knowing that someone had transferred the above amount of money to her account by mistake, on the morning of April 12, Ms. Ngoc proactively reported to Ward 2 Police (Bao Loc City).
At the same time, Ms. Ngoc informed the bank to freeze her account to avoid being surprised.
Using professional measures, the Ward 2 Police force verified the information that the owner of the account transferred by mistake was Vu Thi Hai Yen (32 years old, residing in My Loc commune, Thai Thuy district, Thai Binh).
Immediately afterwards, Ward 2 Police contacted Ms. Yen to inform her about mistakenly transferring 3.5 billion VND to Ms. Ngoc's account.
However, due to raising a small child, Ms. Yen authorized Mr. Bui Duc Hau (Ms. Yen's husband) to book a plane ticket to travel from Thai Binh to Bao Loc City to receive the above amount.
On the same afternoon, Mr. Bui Duc Hau (Ms. Yen's husband) was present at the headquarters of Ward 2 Police in coordination with Ms. Phan Thi Thanh Ngoc and Ward 2 Police officers to complete the procedures to receive the money back.
It is known that Ms. Phan Thi Thanh Ngoc is currently working at the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Bao Loc City.
"The amount of 3.5 billion VND is very large, but not mine, if used for personal purposes, it is a violation of the law. Therefore, not just me, but anyone will find a way to return it to the owner. However, before returning it, I think I have to report to the authorities for verification and clarification to avoid unwanted consequences" - Ms. Ngoc shared.
Receiving the mistaken transferred money, Mr. Bui Duc Hau (Ms. Yen's husband) sent his sincere thanks to Ms. Phan Thi Thanh Ngoc and Ward 2 Police for quickly verifying and helping his family receive the large amount of money that his wife had mistakenly transferred.
