On the afternoon of May 22, speaking with Nguoi Dua Tin , a representative of the leader of the Social Policy Bank (SBP) Transaction Office in Thuy Nguyen District, Hai Phong City, said that thanks to heightened vigilance, the unit had just helped customers escape fraud.
Specifically, Mr. BVB in village 2, Gia Minh commune, Thuy Nguyen district, came to the Transaction Office of the Social Policy Bank of Thuy Nguyen district to request to close a savings book of 350 million VND to send to his son-in-law. Mr. BVB had deposited this savings book for nearly a year, with only 1 day left until the interest payment date.
During the transaction, an officer of the Social Policy Bank Transaction Office in Thuy Nguyen district noticed that Mr. BVB was nervous, worried, and uneasy. Suspecting something was wrong, this officer reported the incident to his superiors.
Customers come to make transactions at the Transaction Office of the People's Credit Fund of Thuy Nguyen District, Hai Phong City.
Through verification, it was determined that the account receiving the money was not Mr. BVB's son-in-law. Therefore, the transaction officers extended the time to complete the savings book closing procedure to contact Mr. BVB's relatives.
After being explained and advised by the staff of the Social Policy Bank Transaction Office in Thuy Nguyen district as well as relatives, Mr. BVB realized he had been scammed and did not transfer money to the scammer.
Mr. BVB informed that he had previously received a call from a strange number claiming to be a police officer. This person informed him that the savings book he had deposited at the bank was related to a large drug trafficking ring that the police were investigating.
The scammer asked Mr. BVB to transfer all the money in his savings book to the account number provided by them to check the source of the money. If he did not comply, he would have difficulty escaping the law. Out of fear, Mr. BVB went to the Transaction Office of the Social Policy Bank of Thuy Nguyen District to request to close his savings book to transfer money to the account number provided by the scammer.
According to the authorities, recently many subjects have impersonated police officers, prosecutors, courts, etc. to carry out acts of intimidation and fraud to appropriate property with many sophisticated tricks. In particular, the subjects often ask the victims to keep secrets. Therefore, people need to be vigilant against strange phone numbers claiming to be authorities demanding money transfers.
In case of receiving threatening phone calls from strangers, people need to immediately report to the nearest police station to investigate, verify and receive necessary advice .
