According to Hung Yen Provincial Police, on August 25, Dong Chau Commune Police received a report from Ms. V.T.T (born in 1982), residing in Minh Chau village, Dong Chau commune, about her bank account on February 15 suddenly receiving 57.3 million VND from a strange account. Due to not knowing the information of the wrong person and the cause of the incident, Ms. T kept the money in her personal account and had not used it.
After receiving the money, Ms. T continuously received many calls from unknown numbers claiming to be employees of the Military Joint Stock Commercial Bank (MB Bank), asking her to return the above amount. However, because she had read and heard the propaganda of the Commune Police about the method of fraud to appropriate property via phone and social networks, Ms. T was cautious, thinking that this could be a scam, so she called Dong Chau Commune Police to report the incident.
Immediately after receiving the report, Dong Chau Commune Police used synchronous professional measures, coordinating with Nam Phu Commune Police, Hanoi City to verify that the owner of the account transferred by mistake was Ms. C.T.T.H (born in 1981), residing in Village 2, Nam Phu Commune. The work process determined that while transferring money to relatives, Ms. H accidentally added an excess number, leading to Ms. T mistakenly depositing a large amount of money into her account.
After clarifying the cause and collecting all relevant documents and records, on the morning of August 25, Dong Chau Commune Police instructed Ms. T to return the entire 57.3 million VND to Ms. H under the witness of the authorities at the headquarters of Dong Chau Commune Police, Hung Yen Province.
