Threatened to help 'drug lord', woman almost lost all her savings

On May 17, Ba Vi District Police ( Hanoi ) said that authorities had just stopped a woman who was threatened and almost cheated out of money over the phone.

Previously, on May 10, Ms. D.TKS (born in 1964, Phu Cuong commune, Ba Vi district) received many calls from a strange phone number, claiming to be a police officer investigating a drug case.

Threatened to assist 'drug lord', woman nearly lost all her savings - 1 — Ms. S. was lucky to have the police officer explain so she did not transfer money to the scammer.

The “self-proclaimed” police officer said that Ms. S. had assisted the “boss” of this criminal ring to receive “commissions” after each successful transaction. Although she claimed to have no involvement and knew nothing, Ms. S. was still psychologically manipulated by the subjects and asked to transfer the entire amount of 150 million VND she was saving into the “police agency” account to clarify the matter or she would be arrested.

Out of fear, on the morning of May 12, Ms. S. went to the commune post office alone to withdraw money from her savings account to transfer money to the scammer. At the same time, Phu Cuong commune police officers went to the commune post office to extract security cameras for work and saw that Ms. S. showed signs of panic and anxiety, so they investigated and learned about the incident.

Ba Vi District Police quickly approached and explained to the victim about this scam, as well as the methods and tricks of high-tech fraud so that Ms. S. could be vigilant and take precautions. Ms. S. listened and luckily did not lose her savings.
