On the morning of January 3rd, Ninh Gia Commune Police (Lam Dong province) said that the unit had supported Ms. Nguyen Thi Le Thu (residing in Hiep Thuan village, Ninh Gia commune) to complete procedures to return the amount of 1 billion VND to the wrong transferee.
Previously, on the evening of December 29, 2025, Ms. Thu suddenly received 1 billion VND transferred to her account through 3 transactions from a strange account. Immediately after discovering the incident, she proactively reported to Ninh Gia Commune Police.
Through verification, the police force identified the wrong transferee as Mr. Dang Van Phu (residing in Di Linh district, Lam Dong). Mr. Phu said that due to negligence in the process of paying for agricultural products, the company's accountant mistakenly transferred money to Ms. Thu's account because he received false information from a partner.
On January 2, under the witness and guidance of Ninh Gia Commune Police, Ms. Thu voluntarily returned the entire amount of 1 billion VND to Mr. Phu and committed not to raise a complaint.
Mr. Phu sent his thanks to Ms. Thu and the police force for timely support.
Functional agencies recommend that people do not arbitrarily use or transfer money back when receiving money from strange accounts.
In similar cases, it is necessary to immediately contact the police or bank to be guided on handling in accordance with regulations, avoiding legal risks and fraudulent tricks.
