Woman falls into scam trap of more than 900 million VND

On the afternoon of June 20, the Criminal Police Department of Tay Ninh Province Police received a request for help from Ms. TTN (residing in Tay Ninh City, Tay Ninh) about a subject impersonating a bank employee to scam her online job search and appropriating more than 920 million VND.

The investigator received Ms. N's call for help.

Ms. N shared: “Because she was looking for a job, N. went on Facebook. At that time, N. saw a recruitment post for VPbank , so she left her contact phone number. After that, a woman named Yen Ly called and introduced herself as an HR staff member of VPbank Hanoi branch. The subject asked N. to download the Microsoft team application to exchange information.”

Next, Ms. N. was brought by Yen Ly into the group "Group 20 VPbank preliminary selection". In this group, the subjects required Ms. N. to access the website "Thudophattrien.com", then create a separate account for the victim to perform tasks such as: Depositing money, withdrawing money, placing orders... They transferred to Ms. N. several hundred thousand dong to create trust. Next, the subjects lured Ms. N. to use the victim's bank account to deposit more money into the account they provided. Ms. N. would receive an amount 50 to 300% higher.

Due to greed, in 2 days, Ms. N. transferred money to them 8 times with a total amount of 922 million VND. When Ms. N. saw the large amount of money, she withdrew it, but they gave many reasons such as: paying taxes, network error, upgrading account... Only when they blocked the contact number did Ms. N. realize she had been scammed.
