The method of fraud by impersonating employees of network operators, calling customers to inform them of debt in order to appropriate property is not new. However, many people have fallen into the trap of these subjects.
Typically, in Cau Giay district, the subject impersonated a Viettel employee, defrauded and appropriated people's property for more than 800 million VND. Specifically, on March 3, Dich Vong Ward Police received a complaint from Mr. T. (born in 1946, permanent residence in Cau Giay District) about receiving a call from a subject introducing himself as a Viettel employee informing him that he owed phone bills. After that, the subject connected the phone for him to meet a person claiming to be a police officer. This person showed him a photo of an emergency arrest warrant and asset freeze. Mr. T. provided the subject with information related to his bank account and OTP code. After that, when he discovered that more than 800 million VND was missing from his account, he went to the police station to report it.
Previously, on March 1, Tay Dang Town Police received a report from Ms. PNV (born in 1992, permanent residence in Ba Vi District, Hanoi City) that a subject claiming to be a police officer called and asked her father, Mr. PVT (born in 1970, permanent residence in Ba Vi District) to transfer 11 million VND. Immediately after receiving the report, the town police force and Ms. PNV promptly arrived at Mr. PVT's house to verify the incident.
According to Mr. PVT's report, since February 28, he has continuously received calls, introducing himself as a police officer. This person said that he was involved in a case related to an illegal drug trafficking ring with a value of billions of VND in Ho Chi Minh City; at the same time, he was asked to prepare 2 million VND, then 9 million VND or he would be arrested. By the morning of March 1, Mr. T had prepared the required documents and money to go to the Tay Dang Town Credit Fund to transfer money to the above subject. Upon learning the information, Ms. PNV quickly reported the incident to the Tay Dang Town Police for support.
After understanding the situation, the soldiers clearly explained to Mr. PVT about this scam as well as the method of fraud and property appropriation by subjects who took advantage of the telecommunications network to commit crimes; at the same time, reminded him not to listen to or follow the subjects' requests.
Faced with the above methods and tricks, Hanoi City Police recommends that people should be vigilant and inform their relatives and friends about the above tricks to avoid falling into the trap of bad guys. For issues related to phone bill payment or if problems arise during the use of the service, people should contact the network operator's hotline or go to the transaction offices for timely advice and resolution.
The police also recommend that people do not transfer money or provide personal information to strangers over the phone to avoid falling into the trap of bad guys. To work with people, the police will directly send invitations, summonses or send them through the commune or town police; there is no phone call to ask citizens to transfer money to bank accounts. When detecting cases with signs of fraud as above, people need to immediately report to the nearest police agency for timely support and resolution.
