Ha Tinh police promptly thwarted a 1.2 billion VND fraud attempt.

GĐXH - A woman in Ha Tinh was targeted by criminals posing as police officers, who informed her of her involvement in a drug trafficking ring and then repeatedly threatened and pressured her into transferring 1.2 billion VND.

Earlier, on the afternoon of May 25th, a woman residing in Cam Due commune received a call from the phone number 0948.913.212 from someone claiming to be a police officer in Hanoi.

This individual spread rumors that the victim was involved in an illegal drug trafficking ring and demanded "cooperation in the investigation." Using threats and psychological manipulation, they forced the victim to keep it a secret from their relatives, while also demanding bank account information and the transfer of 1.2 billion VND to "prove their innocence."

Despite feeling confused, anxious, and constantly receiving threatening phone calls and psychological manipulation, thanks to regular awareness campaigns and warnings about high-tech scams, the woman noticed several unusual signs and reported them to the Cam Due Commune Police.

Even while the victims were present at the police station, the perpetrators continued to call and pressure them to transfer money. Police officers from Cam Due commune promptly reassured the victims, explained the scam tactics, and instructed them on how to secure their bank accounts.

Given the increasing sophistication of high-tech scams, the police advise citizens to be vigilant and absolutely refrain from providing personal information, OTP codes, or bank account details to strangers via phone or social media.

Remain calm and verify information carefully. Do not comply with requests to transfer money from individuals posing as police officers, prosecutors, or court officials. If you detect any suspicious activity, promptly report it to the nearest police station for assistance and to avoid being exploited or having your money stolen.
