On March 18, Hanoi City Police said they were investigating a case in which a woman in Bac Tu Liem District, Hanoi, was defrauded of 800 million VND.

Previously, in March 2025, the Department of Cyber ​​Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention (Hanoi City Police) received a report from Ms. T. (48 years old, in Bac Tu Liem district) about being scammed by subjects claiming to be employees of a delivery company.

At that time, this person informed Ms. T. that she had mistakenly transferred money to their company's bank account and then instructed her to access the website "igiaohangtietkiem.online" to cancel her account registration.

The scammers used excuses such as: entering incorrect operations, increasing credit score, registering for disbursement insurance, anti-money laundering insurance... and asked Ms. T. to transfer money before she could withdraw it.

Ms. T. transferred 800 million to the bank accounts provided by the subject. When she discovered she had been scammed, she went to the police to report.

In addition to the above case, Hanoi Police also received many complaints from people about people impersonating shippers to defraud and appropriate property.

Hanoi City Police advise people not to transfer money to strangers or accounts of unknown origin. Only transfer money to the shipper when you personally receive and check the goods.

People should also limit sharing and publicizing personal information on social networks. They can use this information to impersonate or carry out other fraudulent acts. Buyers should send private messages to sellers to exchange order information.

Do not access strange links, do not provide OTP codes to anyone. Links of unknown origin may contain malicious code or fake websites. Accessing links or providing OTP codes may cause you to lose personal information, creating conditions for subjects to conduct fraud, withdrawing all the money in your bank account.

When detecting signs of fraud, people should immediately stop all transactions, report to the nearest police agency for handling, lock the account and change the password to avoid being scammed.
