Even though there is a picture of the successful money transfer receipt, the store owner still did not receive the money.

Ms. D.TTT is the owner of a mother and baby goods store in Tan Huong commune (Ninh Giang). On the evening of November 29, a young man entered Ms. T's store to buy 2 boxes of milk for a 3-year-old child, the total order value was 1,040,000 VND. After performing a few operations, the young man showed Ms. T. a photo of the successful transfer and said that he had to return home urgently, so she agreed to let him take the milk out of the store.

Normally, VCB's successful transfer receipts will have a transaction code which is a 10-digit string of characters.

After that, still not receiving the money, Ms. T. checked the money transfer message and discovered that the receipt that this young man gave and other receipts from the same bank where customers had transferred money to buy goods for her were different. The transaction code in the young man's receipt included a string of characters containing both letters and numbers. Meanwhile, the other transaction codes of this bank were strings of characters consisting of 10 digits.

Many articles also post pictures of successful transfer receipts from banks to create credibility.

In these groups, many posts are posted advertising "making fake receipts, balance changes, all kinds of documents, reasonable prices, no upfront fees, reputable", publicly posting phone numbers on the posts for contact work.

Many articles also post images of successful bank transfer receipts. The transfer receipts have interfaces with full information and fonts similar to real receipts, making them difficult to distinguish.

When transacting via bank account, everyone should note not to deliver goods to anyone if they have not received money in their bank account, even if they have provided a successful transfer image.
