During the transaction, the bank teller noticed unusual behaviors from Mr. P. and decided to pause the process. The teller then gathered information, propagated, and explained the situation to Mr. P., while also contacting the Tan Yen District Police for coordination.
In the process of working with the police, Mr. P. revealed that he had received calls from unknown numbers claiming to be police officers. These callers informed Mr. P. that he was allegedly involved in a drug trafficking ring and demanded that he transfer VND 55 million from his personal savings account to account number 1777633962 at the Military Bank (MB), held by Truong Vy Thanh, for investigation purposes. Out of worry and lack of understanding, Mr. P. went to the Agribank branch in Tan Yen District to follow the scammers’ instructions.
After receiving detailed explanations from the police and bank officers, Mr. P. realized that he had almost fallen victim to a scam and decided to halt the money transfer.
