Police traced and contacted 6 banks to help a person get back 850 million VND

A woman in Gia Lai logged into the link sent by the scammer and had her phone taken over and 850 million VND of the victim's money transferred to many bank accounts.

On October 3, the Cyber ​​Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention Department of Gia Lai Province Police said it had successfully prevented a phone scam, recovering VND850 million for the victim.

Previously, on September 30, a person claiming to be a Pleiku City Police officer called and asked Ms. NTH (residing in Pleiku City, Gia Lai) to make a citizen identification card. This person asked Ms. H. to provide personal information to support the implementation of level 2 electronic identification and sent a link to log in and declare.

After answering the phone, Ms. H. logged into the link sent by the stranger and followed the instructions. After that, Ms. H.'s phone was taken over by the thief.

At this time, the fraudster accessed the electronic banking application and transferred the entire amount of 850 million VND in the victim's account to many different bank accounts. Realizing that she had been scammed, Ms. H. brought the device to the Gia Lai Provincial Police headquarters to report.

Upon receiving the report, the Cyber ​​Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention Department tracked down the subject and urgently contacted 6 banks to temporarily block money transfers. At the time the account was blocked, the fraudster transferred money to a fourth bank.

Thanks to the victim's early reporting and the quick intervention of the investigation agency, the money flow was blocked and the entire 850 million VND was recovered for the victim.

Previously, on September 19, Duc Co District Police (Gia Lai Province) also promptly prevented a case of people in the district being scammed by phone calls from a subject impersonating a police officer.

At that time, a person claiming to be a police officer of Duc Co district informed Ms. C. that she was involved in a money laundering case. This person asked Ms. C. to transfer all the money in her bank account to an account named "Hoang Thi Quyen" for verification. If it was determined that it was not related, she would return it.

Too scared, Ms. C. withdrew 800 million VND from her savings account to deposit into the above account number. However, after withdrawing, Ms. C. was afraid of being scammed so she went to Duc Co District Police to report the incident.
