On August 10th, information from the Ha Tinh Provincial Police stated that the Huong Tra Commune Police, in coordination with the Phuc Trach Transaction Office (belonging to Agribank's Huong Khe branch, Ha Tinh), had successfully thwarted a fraud attempt involving 110 million VND.
According to initial information, earlier on the morning of August 9th, Mr. TVL (residing in Huong Lam commune, Huong Khe district, Ha Tinh province) went to the Phuc Trach transaction office (belonging to Agribank Huong Khe branch), located 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 down the wrong name of the person transferring the money, leading the Agribank teller to suspect that the customer was being scammed. Agribank contacted the Huong Tra Commune Police to conduct an investigation.
Upon receiving the information, the Huong Tra commune police force promptly arrived and spoke with Mr. TVL. During the interview, Mr. TVL stated that he had recently received calls from an unknown number claiming to be a representative of a state agency, posting threatening documents, and demanding that he go to the bank to transfer money as proof of assets. Fearing these threats, Mr. TVL went to the bank intending to transfer 110 million VND to the aforementioned individual.
The Huong Tra commune police requested the bank to temporarily suspend the money transfer procedures, promptly worked with Mr. TVL, and clearly explained that these were scammers. They also instructed Mr. TVL to return home and warn his neighbors and relatives to avoid falling victim to such scams. After the explanation from the commune police, Mr. TVL understood and stopped the money transfer transaction.
