On the morning of February 24, Mr. Hoang Quoc Viet (39 years old), residing in Bao Loc City (Lam Dong), went to Agribank - Bao Loc Lam Dong II City Branch to ask for support to verify and return 240 million VND that someone else had mistakenly transferred to his account.
Previously, at 1506 on February 21, Mr. Viet's account unexpectedly received the above amount from the Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam (BIDV). The transaction notification message displays the transferor's name, but there is no note.
Determining that there were no relatives, friends or colleagues with the above name, Mr. Viet thought this was a confusion. Immediately afterwards, he reported the incident to Loc Son Ward Police (Bao Loc City) and was instructed to go to Agribank to continue verifying and supporting the refund of the transferor.
Agribank Branch has confirmed that the amount of 240 million VND was mistakenly transferred to Mr. Viet's account and is coordinating with BIDV Bank branch to verify the account owner. After completing the verification, the parties will carry out the return procedures according to regulations.
Mr. Viet shared: "At first, I planned to transfer the money back myself. However, after researching, I realized that this could be a trick of high-tech criminals. Therefore, I reported it to the police and the bank".
