Preventing a woman in Da Nang from transferring more than 200 million to a person impersonating a police officer

On December 6, My An Ward Police, Ngu Hanh Son District, Da Nang said they had just stopped a resident from transferring money to a scammer.

Initial information, at 4:00 p.m. on December 5, My An Ward Police received a report from Vietcombank Branch (address 153 Ngu Hanh Son Street) stating that a woman came to the branch to transfer money to a stranger but showed many unusual signs.

My An ward police urgently sent forces to the bank branch to verify and clarify the incident.

Here, the police identified Ms. Mai Thi Huyen (52 years old, residing in group 13, Hoa Hai ward, Ngu Hanh Son district) as transferring money to a stranger with Zalo named Nguyen Huu Trung.

During the working process, Ms. Mai Thi Huyen said that before that, this person contacted her, claiming to be an officer of the Office of the Investigation Police Agency of Da Nang City Police.

Ms. Huyen thanks My An Ward Police for helping her escape the scammer's trap.

This person said that Ms. Huyen was involved in an organization that violated the law and asked her to transfer 230 million VND for investigation, otherwise she would be arrested.

Too scared, Ms. Huyen immediately went to Vietcombank branch to transfer money to this person.

After being instructed and explained about the scammers' tricks by the police and bank staff, Ms. Huyen understood the situation and stopped the transaction.

Previously, on July 2, Nam Duong Ward Police, Hai Chau District, Da Nang coordinated with Viet A Bank Branch (Hoang Dieu Street) to promptly prevent Ms. TTN (66 years old, residing in Thanh Khe District, Da Nang) from transferring 300 million VND to a scammer.

According to Ms. N. on the afternoon of July 2, a person called, claiming to be a police officer, and informed her that she was involved in a criminal organization. To prove her innocence, this person asked Ms. N. to deposit 300 million VND into the above account for “police inspection.”
