Losing money because of being called to report a crime
Previously, in June 2019, there was also an incident that caused the victim to receive bitter results because of very sophisticated scams. On May 16, 2019, during lunch break, Mr. Nguyen Nhut (SN 1984, District 12, Ho Chi Minh City) kept receiving calls.
Opening the phone, he was informed by a caller claiming to be an employee of the Hanoi Post Office that he had a parcel sent by the Hanoi Police. The above announcement made Mr. Nhut somewhat bewildered because the parcel sent by the police was probably not a good thing. After that, the server owner pondered and reassured himself that they must have the wrong phone?
Thought the story was over, more than an hour later a strange number called Nhat's phone again. The other end of the line claimed to be the Hanoi Police who were investigating a case related to online gambling and announced that Nhut was involved in this serious case.
While Mr. Nhut was bewildered, this person added: "I will let you see an official to understand better". The person who spoke next to Mr. Nhut was a woman, claiming to be the secretary of the Hanoi Court, who said she was handling an online gambling case, in which many subjects declared that Mr. Nhut was involved. out of the law. Suddenly becoming a criminal, Nhut couldn't help but worry and hastily justify. After Nhut finished saying a few things, the "court clerk" asked him to provide his full name, identification number and bank account code.
Being confused and not smart enough to identify the incident, Nhut just provided his full name, identification number and bank card code. Having obtained the basic information, the "court clerk" made a few promises and then hung up.
A few minutes later, Nhut's phone had a message, when he opened it to check, he received the content: Sacombank's switchboard informed that his account had been deducted from all 85 million VND available.
Faced with this situation, the Ministry of Public Security advises people to be vigilant. When detecting an incident, you can report it to the nearest police agency.
