Recently, a remarkable incident took place at the Jiangsu Bank branch. Accordingly, an old man named Xu came to the bank and requested to withdraw 40,000 yuan (140 million VND) from his savings account. At this time, the old man came to withdraw money with a rather worried face and the bank staff noticed this abnormality. He said the reason for withdrawing money was to give it to his grandson.

Afterwards, the female employee named Wang used her professional skills and patiently asked the old man a series of questions to check: Why did he withdraw money for his nephew?; What did his nephew use the money for?; Where did he receive this transfer information?...

The old man then recounted the story of the morning he received a call from an unknown number. At first, he did not press the answer button, but then the number continued to call many times after that. As soon as he heard the voice on the other end of the line, he realized that this was his grandchild who lived in Shanghai.

The man said he needed money to compensate the victim after a fight and wanted Mr. Xu to keep it a secret. Believing his nephew, Mr. Xu went to the bank branch to withdraw money for his nephew.

But the bank staff had already determined that this was most likely a scam, so they persuaded the old man to contact his daughter to verify the information. His daughter confirmed that her grandson was fine and had not called her grandfather to ask for money.

But Mr. Xu was still skeptical, at this time the local police arrived at the bank. They asked Mr. Xu to call his grandson directly and everything was clear, Mr. Xu was the victim of a phone scam.

The old man seemed to wake up and sweat. He was explained this sophisticated scam by the bank staff and the police officers. At that moment, Mr. Xu realized that he almost lost all his pension savings to the scammer due to his ignorance. He thanked the bank staff who stopped him from transferring the money as well as the police officers.

Mr. Xu then went to the police station to cooperate in the investigation to find out the phone fraud ring by impersonating this voice and was taken home.

Bank staff rewarded for uncovering fraud ring

As for the female bank employee, both the local police and the bank director gave her compliments. In particular, she was also given a bonus by the bank after being quick to detect the incident and handle it well to prevent fraud.

Recently, banks and authorities have received many cases of fraud in withdrawing and transferring money online. The targets of fraudsters are elderly men and women who do not have much knowledge about technology.

The above incident is also a warning for users that they can still be fooled by the old tricks if they are not vigilant. In addition, when detecting similar scams, people should immediately report to the nearest police station for resolution.
