GĐXH - Even though she knew the subject was a scammer, this woman still transferred the 200 million VND that the subject demanded according to the police's advice.
Woman transfers more than 200 million VND to fraudulent account
Ms. Ha worked closely with local police to capture the group of scammers.
According to Sohu, at around 9am on February 23, 2024, Ms. Ha (Chongqing, China) suddenly received a call from an unknown phone number. At first, she had no intention of picking up the phone. Realizing that this number continued to call for the third time, she decided to answer the phone.
Ms. Ha said a man answered the phone and claimed to be a local police officer. He informed her that she was being investigated for involvement in a transnational money laundering case. To cooperate, she needed to transfer 60,000 yuan (more than 200 million VND) to a requested bank account.
At first, she was quite worried when she received this information. But within a few seconds, she calmed down and suspected that this was a scammer. This woman said that she discovered it in time because Ms. Ha is a person who regularly updates information on the press, so she clearly understands the tricks that scammers are using.
Although she knew that the person on the other end of the line was a scammer, the woman still calmly said that she would transfer the money as requested. In fact, after hanging up, Ms. Ha quickly contacted the local police to confirm her case.
After receiving the case and checking the information, the local police confirmed that her information was not related to any money laundering ring. Therefore, the person claiming to be a police officer was actually a scammer who wanted to appropriate property. The police also said that not only Ha but many local people were also bothered by similar calls at that time.
In order to capture the group, the police asked Ms. Ha to cooperate with the requests. Accordingly, she transferred the exact amount of money that the other person wanted.
Woman's handling of the incident was praised by police
The authorities will then work with the bank to trace the money flow and immediately freeze the bank account that received the money. When the money cannot be transferred out of the account, the beneficiary scammer will definitely have to go to the bank to resolve the matter in order to get the money. From here, the police will gradually untie the important knots to capture the group of subjects.
As planned, the police caught the entire fraud ring that specialized in impersonating authorities to appropriate property in just one day. At the police station, Ms. Ha was refunded 60,000 yuan. At the same time, she was also commended by the police for her contributions in dismantling the sophisticated crime ring.
Through this incident, the local police have advised people to be extremely alert, not to panic or be afraid of this scam. When dealing with issues related to administrative procedures or criminal cases, the authorities will send invitations and summonses to the people's residence or assign the local police where the people live to directly invite the people to the police station to work.
If a similar situation occurs, people need to stay calm, not provide personal information, transfer money or follow the subject's requests, and promptly report to the nearest police station for advice and support. In case people have had their property taken by scammers, they need to immediately report the incident to the authorities for reception and handling according to the provisions of law.
In addition, local police also ask people to be vigilant. Because scammers are increasingly using sophisticated tricks. To avoid becoming a victim, you need to keep your personal information confidential, do not make unverified transfers, and do not click on any links that are not authenticated.
