L.N.B.T sold his personal account to P.D.L for 800,000 VND. After that, P.D.L continued to resell this account to another person through social networks for 1,000,000 VND.
The behavior of both violated the provisions of Point a, Clause 5, Article 26 of Decree 88/2019/ND-CP (amended and supplemented in Decree 143/2021/ND-CP).
The authorities have fined L.N.B.T VND 45.8 million and P.D.L VND 45.2 million, a total of VND 91 million.
Mr. L.N.B.T and Mr. P.D.L were fined many times more than the amount of money they sold their accounts. For a little greed, I lost too much money, not to mention accidentally helping the scammers.
They do not understand the law, so they violate it and push themselves into other risks, but no one has the right to say "I do not understand the law, so I violate it".
Many criminal gangs operate in cyberspace, performing different fraud tricks, the purpose of which is to get money.
To get the victim's money, they need an account for the victim to transfer the money. Therefore, it is necessary to briefly say that the accounts purchased by them are only for the purpose of carrying out criminal activities, including fraud, money laundering, and betting.
Buying and selling accounts also causes many consequences for account holders such as outstanding loans in bank accounts for unknown reasons. Not to mention, many of these trading accounts are used for money transfers and money laundering, affecting the country's financial system.
Selling personal accounts to others to commit illegal acts also cost them money. Because there are cases where account sellers can be prosecuted for assisting criminals in fraud and money laundering.
People are confused, worried, and insecure because they are being attacked by cybercriminals every day. Many people have lost billions, the money they have saved and saved all their lives to get. Some people borrowed money and became debtors because they were scammed.
People hope that the authorities will crack down on and eliminate all fraud gangs to protect honest people, restore social order, and bring peace to the community.
But unfortunately, there are many people who do not know how to protect themselves, turn themselves into victims and harm others by selling bank accounts to criminals.
Do not assist criminals or become accomplices of scammers out of greed.
