Army lieutenant returns more than 1.5 billion VND to the person who transferred it by mistake

Senior Lieutenant Tran Trung Kien, 40 years old, living in Bao Loc city (currently working at the Lam Dong province military command) said that on October 19, a stranger transferred money to his bank account 4 times, totaling more than 1.5 billion VND.

Knowing that someone had transferred the money by mistake, but the amount was too large and he was afraid of being scammed, he contacted Bao Loc City police for support. Lieutenant Kien withdrew the money and then deposited it into the police agency's temporary account.

Through verification, the police identified the person who transferred money to Mr. Kien's account as Ms. Le Thi Van, Accountant of Anh Duong Medical Investment Joint Stock Company (headquartered in Thanh Hoa). Ms. Van informed that the above amount of money was transferred to the company's debt payment partner, but the account number was entered incorrectly.

On the afternoon of October 25, Bao Loc City Police said that they had coordinated with the bank to withdraw more than 1.5 billion VND - the amount being held from Mr. Kien who reported that someone had mistakenly transferred it - to return to Anh Duong Medical Investment Joint Stock Company.

At the same time, Bao Loc City Police will soon propose relevant agencies to commend and reward Senior Lieutenant Tran Trung Kien.
