On the morning of January 24, Tay Ho District Police (Hanoi) said that on January 18, Ms. NTN (born in 1960, living in Tay Ho District) received a phone call from a person claiming to be a police officer. At that time, the person claiming to be said that Ms. N. was involved in money laundering and drug trafficking.
To assist in the investigation, the suspect asked her to declare her assets to prove that she was not involved. Out of fear, Ms. N. transferred 4.5 billion VND to the suspect's account. Later, Ms. N. realized she had been scammed and reported the matter to the police.
Speaking to reporters, a leader of Tay Ho District Police said that although there have been many warnings about the trick of impersonating police agencies to defraud and appropriate property, many people still fall into the trap of these subjects.
From the above incidents, Hanoi City Police recommend that people be vigilant and inform their relatives and friends about the above tricks to avoid falling into the traps of bad guys.
To work with citizens, the police will directly send invitations and summonses or send them through local police. They will absolutely not ask citizens to transfer money to bank accounts.
When detecting cases with signs of fraud as above, people need to immediately report to the nearest police agency.
