On March 18th, the Hanoi City Police announced that they are investigating a case in which a woman in Bac Tu Liem district, Hanoi, was defrauded of 800 million VND.

Previously, in March 2025, the Cyber ​​Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention Department (Hanoi City Police) received a report from Ms. T. (48 years old, residing in Bac Tu Liem district) about being scammed by individuals posing as 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 instructed her to access the website "igiaohangtietkiem.online" to cancel her account registration.

The scammers used excuses such as incorrect data entry, credit score enhancement, loan disbursement insurance registration, anti-money laundering insurance, etc., and demanded that Ms. T. transfer money before she could withdraw it.

Ms. T. transferred 800 million VND to bank accounts provided by the scammer. Upon discovering she had been scammed, she reported the incident to the police.

In addition to the case mentioned above, Hanoi Police have also received numerous complaints from citizens about being scammed and having their money stolen by individuals posing as delivery drivers.

Hanoi City Police advise citizens not to transfer money to strangers or accounts with unknown origins. Only transfer money to the shipper when you personally receive and inspect the goods.

People should also limit sharing and publicly disclosing personal information on social media. This information can be used for impersonation or other fraudulent activities. Buyers should message sellers privately to exchange order information.

Do not click on suspicious links or provide your OTP code to anyone. Links from unknown sources may contain malware or be fake websites. Clicking on such links or providing your OTP code can lead to the loss of your personal information, allowing scammers to steal money from your bank account.

Upon noticing signs of fraud, people should immediately stop all transactions, report it to the nearest police station for handling, lock their accounts, and change their passwords to avoid being scammed.
