Quy Nhon City Police (Binh Dinh) has just received a report of fraud from Ms. NTHH (32 years old, in Dong Da ward, Quy Nhon city) when registering her nephew for a marathon.
On May 8, Quy Nhon City Police said they had just received a report of being scammed out of more than half a billion VND from Ms. NTHH (32 years old, in Dong Da ward, Quy Nhon city) when she registered her nephew to run a marathon.
According to Ms. H., because she wanted her nephew to participate in the Kun Marathon Kid race, on April 26 she contacted the fanpage "Kun Marathon Kid 2024" advertising this race to register.
Ms. H. said she checked the information of this fanpage and found it to be reputable because it had videos of artists advertising and a large number of likes and followers.
After messaging the fanpage, this Facebook page provided a code for Ms. H. to register and introduced her to contact a consultant named Duong Thi Ngoc via the Zalo application.
Ms. H. talked to this Zalo account and was instructed to fill out the registration form for the race. Zalo account Ngoc Kun Marathon instructed Ms. H. to make friends on Telegram with "Consultant Minh Tuan" and provide the code to this account to have her application approved.
Then, this Telegram account continued to guide Ms. H. to join a Telegram group, in which there were people who had registered like her. This Telegram account advised Ms. H. and the members of the group to participate in purchasing sports products and equipment "Adidas AD-12214 knee brace" worth 640,000 VND and "Emer height increasing machine" worth 3,250,000 VND and committed to refunding the money after 3-5 minutes, if completed, then Ms. H.'s nephew would be registered for the official review round of the marathon.
Ms. H. transferred money to buy the above products to the account number as instructed and was refunded the entire amount.
After receiving the money, Ms. H. continued to be guided to join the Telegram group named "Group 140 official review". Here, she was introduced by the account manager @DangQuang Vinh, advised to participate in the activity of buying products in a row (buying multiple orders) and committed to refunding the principal and commission discount within 5 minutes.
Ms. H. thought it was real so she transferred a total of 117,770,000 VND to buy 3 sports products into the above account as requested.
After transferring the money, Ms. H. did not see the refund so she texted to ask the reason. The account @DangQuang Vinh said that she transferred the money with the wrong syntax and asked her to have a corrective transaction to get the principal and interest refunded.
Believing her, Ms. H. continued to transfer money two more times into the above account with a total amount of 440,520,000 VND on the evening of April 26.
However, Ms. H. still did not receive the full amount of money transferred, which was 558,290,000 VND. Realizing that she had been scammed, Ms. H. went to the police to report the incident.
Quy Nhon City Police recommend that if you want to register to participate in the marathon, please carefully research the information, visit the official website, and avoid Facebook advertising pages because these pages are easily faked.
