An old man almost lost 300 million VND to a person impersonating the Chief Prosecutor.

At noon on October 6, Mr. V.D. (born in 1940, in Tan Hung village, Tan Viet commune) received a phone call from a person claiming to be the Chief Prosecutor of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Procuracy. The person informed Mr. D. that his account was related to a drug money laundering ring, would be frozen, and an order was issued to summon him to Ho Chi Minh City for investigation and trial.

The stranger also told the old man that if he wanted to be exempted from the crime, he should temporarily withdraw as much money as possible from his account and transfer it to Hoang Quoc Tuan's account number 1401205201447. The subject asked Mr. D. not to tell anyone about this, including his family. If he revealed the national secret, he would go to jail, and anyone in his family who revealed it would be arrested. The subject also asked him not to turn off his phone or answer anyone's phone calls while working with him. When he had the money, he would bring it to the village cultural house and a taxi would come to pick him up to pay the money.

Mr. D. was very worried and did as the subject said. Mr. D. remembered that he had 300 million VND deposited at the local credit fund, so he immediately withdrew it all and prepared to transfer it to the crook.

Seeing Mr. D. withdrawing money in a panic, the credit union officer contacted his son and told him to come back and see what was going on. When his son asked, Mr. D. refused to say what was going on. Knowing that something was wrong, Mr. D.'s son immediately reported it to the Chief of Police of Tan Viet Commune. Knowing the situation, the Chief of Police of Tan Viet Commune and the Chairman of the People's Committee of Tan Viet Commune urgently went to Mr. D.'s house.

At first, Mr. D. was still worried and did not dare to say anything, but after the leaders convinced him that this was a scam, Mr. D. felt secure and informed them about the whole incident. At the same time, the scammer called Mr. D. again and the Chief of the Commune Police answered the phone, exposing their scam. Immediately after that, Mr. D. gave the amount of 300 million VND to his son to keep.
