Accordingly, on April 4, 2024, Ms. HTS (residing in Tan Lap commune) went to Agribank Bac Son to request to withdraw savings and transfer the entire amount of 95 million VND to an account outside the system due to receiving a call from a subject claiming to be a police officer requesting to transfer money.

Then, on April 8, 2024, Ms. HTT (residing in Long Dong commune) went to Agribank Bac Son to request a transfer of 38 million VND outside the system because she received a phone call claiming to be from the police force requesting a money transfer to complete the drug case.
During the transaction, both customers showed signs of nervousness and anxiety and continuously urged the teller to transfer money. Seeing signs of fraud, the Agribank Bac Son teller quickly contacted the Security Team, Bac Son District Police for support. After being reassured, advised and explained about the form of fraud impersonating the police force, the two customers did not transfer money.
Through the above incident, the police force and the Bank also advise customers to be more vigilant. Currently, high-tech scammers are increasing in number and transforming into many different forms such as video calling to inform the victim that they are involved in a case of illegal goods trafficking; selling fake medical equipment and requesting to declare assets, transfer money to freeze and threaten not to disclose information to anyone, including family members, if not, they will be arrested and serve a prison sentence... When there are signs of suspicion, customers need to be cautious, calm in the face of threatening and intimidating information, must firmly refuse to work over the phone and coordinate with the police force, the Bank, and relevant agencies to promptly prevent it.
