Registering for recruitment on Facebook, a girl in Hanoi was scammed out of 2 billion VND

On November 24, Long Bien District Police (Hanoi) said they were verifying and investigating a case of impersonating a bank to recruit personnel and defrauding people of nearly 2 billion VND.

On November 17, Ms. D. (residing in Long Bien district) registered for a bank recruitment on Facebook. Afterwards, she received a call from someone who introduced herself as the bank’s recruitment department, informing her of an online interview schedule.

Two days later, the subject sent an email instructing her to download the software and experience the bank's project. Ms. D. was led by the subjects to invest in the project and deposit nearly 2 billion VND but could not withdraw the money. Realizing that she had been scammed, the victim went to the Bo De Ward Police Station (Long Bien District) to report the incident.

According to Hanoi City Police, recently, there has been a scam involving impersonating banks to recruit employees.

The subjects asked the victims to participate in experiencing the bank's project and then led the victims to invest to appropriate money.

Hanoi City Police recommends that people be vigilant and inform their relatives and friends about the above tricks to avoid falling into the trap of bad guys. When sending recruitment documents to companies and businesses, people need to check the recruitment information on the company's official website or hotline number.

People need to be vigilant when participating in online investment projects that are advertised as offering high interest rates and quick withdrawals. If they discover a case of fraud, they need to immediately report it to the police to quickly verify, prevent and handle violators according to the law.
