On August 10, information from Ha Tinh Provincial Police said that Huong Tra Commune Police coordinated with Phuc Trach Transaction Office (under Agribank Huong Khe branch, Ha Tinh) to promptly prevent a fraud case with the amount of 110 million VND.

According to initial information, earlier, on the morning of August 9, Mr. TVL (residing in Huong Lam commune, Huong Khe district, Ha Tinh province) went to Phuc Trach Transaction Office (under Agribank Huong Khe branch), headquartered in Dong Tra village, Huong Tra commune, Huong Khe district to transfer 110 million VND to another person.

During the transaction, Mr. TVL showed signs of confusion and anxiety, and wrote the wrong name of the sender, so the Agribank teller suspected that the customer had been scammed. Agribank contacted the Huong Tra Commune Police to verify.

After receiving the information, the Huong Tra Commune Police force promptly arrived to discuss with Mr. TVL. During the process, Mr. TVL said that recently a strange phone number called and claimed to be a representative of a State agency, posted threatening documents, and then used words to ask him to go to the bank to transfer money to prove his assets. Fearing those threats, Mr. TVL went to the bank with the intention of transferring 110 million VND to the above subject.

Huong Tra Commune Police requested the bank to temporarily suspend the money transfer procedures, promptly work with Mr. TVL and clearly explain that these are scammers. At the same time, they instructed Mr. TVL to return home to spread the word to his neighbors and relatives to prevent it. After the explanation from the commune police, Mr. TVL understood and stopped the money transfer transaction.
