Previously, from the afternoon of September 18th to the 19th, an individual called Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngh (born in 1958, residing in Ngo Quyen commune) and introduced himself as an officer of the Hanoi City Police. Over the phone, the individual claimed that Ms. Ngh was involved in a drug ring and demanded that she provide her account information, login password, and transfer all her money into a specified account without telling anyone.
After being manipulated psychologically for a day, Ms. Ngh was in a state of panic by the afternoon of September 19th. As a result, the victim withdrew nearly VND 1 billion in savings, both personal and familial, from the Commune Credit Fund and transferred it to the specified account in the bank.
At around 4 PM on the same day, her family members discovered what had happened, explained the situation to her, and accompanied her to the Ngo Quyen Commune Police to report the incident. Immediately after receiving the information, the Ngo Quyen Commune Police contacted the Agribank branch in Hong Quang commune to freeze the account and successfully retained the nearly VND 1 billion. Currently, the Thanh Mien District Police and relevant authorities are investigating and expanding the scope of the case.
