Long Bien district police are coordinating with functional agencies to verify and investigate a fraud to appropriate property with an amount of more than 100 million VND with tricks pretending to be police officers to call and ask people to transfer money. .

Previously, the police of Ngoc Thuy ward (Long Bien district) received a report from Ms. H (SN 1975; residing in Long Bien, Hanoi) about being scammed to appropriate more than 100 million VND.

According to the report, Ms. H received a phone call from a person claiming to be an officer of the Ho Chi Minh City Police Department. This person informed that Ms. H was involved in a money laundering case and asked her to pay money to a bank account and install software impersonating the Ministry of Public Security to verify, otherwise she would be wanted.

Ms. H followed the subject’s instructions and discovered that her bank account had lost more than 100 million dong. At this time, Ms. H realized that she had been cheated and went to the police station to report it.

The Hanoi Police Department recommends that people be vigilant and propagate to relatives and friends about the above scams, to avoid “trapping of bad actors”. To work with people, police agencies will directly send invitations, summons or send them through local police and do not ask people to transfer money to bank accounts for investigation.

People absolutely do not provide bank account information, OTP codes and transfer money to objects. If you have downloaded fake software from the Ministry of Public Security on a smart device, it should be quickly removed to avoid being taken advantage of by bad actors to cheat and appropriate property. When detecting cases of fraud as above, people should immediately report to the nearest police agency.
