On September 24th, representatives of the Binh An Ward Police (Dĩ An City, Binh Duong Province) shared that they had successfully prevented a local resident from falling victim to a scam and transferring money to fraudulent individuals.
According to the police, in the afternoon of September 23rd, family members of Ms. Huynh Thi Kim C. (66 years old, residing in Noi Hoa 2, Binh An Ward, Di An City, Binh Duong Province) reported to the Binh An Ward Police that Ms. C. was about to transfer money to handle a matter related to alleged illegal activities.
Ms. C. recounted that earlier that morning, she received a call from an unknown number. The caller identified themselves as Junior Lieutenant Pham Minh Quan, an officer of the Binh An Ward Police, and informed her that there were two orders from the Ministry of Public Security regarding her alleged involvement in illegal activities.
The scammer claimed that the Ministry of Public Security had issued an arrest warrant for Ms. C., and she would be temporarily detained at Bo La Detention Camp (Phu Giao District, Binh Duong Province). To verify whether Ms. C. was involved in criminal activities, the scammer demanded that she transfer 50 million VND to an account they provided. They assured her that if she was found to be unrelated to the case, the money would be returned.
The scammer instructed Ms. C. to keep the matter confidential, even from her family. They also told her that if bank employees asked about the purpose of the transaction, she should say that she was “sending money to her child for a land purchase.” Despite her family’s realization that this was a scam and their attempts to explain it to her, Ms. C. remained resolute and insisted on borrowing money to make the transfer.
