Previously, on the afternoon of August 13, Ms. V.T.P (68 years old), residing in Cam Le ward, went to a bank branch in Cam Le - Da Nang to make a transaction to transfer 300 million VND. During this process, the bank employee noticed that Ms. P was showing unusual signs of anxiety and shaking, so he reported to Cam Le Ward Police for support.
When the police arrived, Ms. P said she had previously received a phone call from a person claiming to be a police officer. This subject informed her that she was in a "money laundering and fraud ring" and asked her to immediately transfer 300 million VND to an account under the name of Vo Tuan Kiet to be resolved. Because she was so scared, she rushed to the bank to follow the instructions.
Realizing that this was a sophisticated scam and psychological manipulation of the victim, Cam Le Ward Police explained, reassured and coordinated with the bank to promptly block the money transfer order, returning the entire amount to Ms. P.
Through the incident, the police agency advised people to be extremely vigilant, not to provide personal information and absolutely not to transfer money as requested by strangers via phone. At the same time, it is necessary to disseminate to relatives, especially the elderly, about scams to avoid becoming victims.
