Can Tho police help people get back 5.2 billion VND that was mistakenly transferred

On January 23, the leader of Tai Van Commune Police (Can Tho City) said that the unit had just completed the transfer and returned 5.2 billion VND to the person who mistakenly transferred the money to the account of an individual with a household registration in the commune.

Accordingly, on December 22, 2025, Ms. Le Thi Bich Ngoc (Quang Ninh province) used a bank application on her phone to transfer money and had an error, leading to a mistake in transferring 300 million VND to the account of Mr. Duong Minh Trung (Thai Cong hamlet, Tai Van commune, Can Tho city).

Then, on January 1, 2026, Mr. Pham Cat Lam (Lai Chau province) also made a money transfer transaction through a banking application and mistakenly transferred 4.9 billion VND to the same account as above.

After discovering the incident, Mr. Lam and Ms. Ngoc went to Tai Van Commune Police (Can Tho City) to report. As soon as the information was received, the Crime Prevention and Control Police Team of Tai Van Commune Police quickly reported to the unit commander to ask for instructions on handling.

With a high sense of responsibility, Tai Van Commune Police promptly verified, contacted Mr. Duong Minh Trung and took necessary measures according to regulations. By January 9, 2026, Mr. Pham Cat Lam and Ms. Le Thi Bich Ngoc had received back the full amount of 5.2 billion VND that had been mistakenly transferred.
