Quang Tri - Receiving nearly 10 million VND mistakenly transferred, people in Nam Ba Don commune proactively reported to the police for verification and refund to the sender.

On February 4, Nam Ba Don Commune Police (Quang Tri province) said that while coming to carry out administrative procedures, Mr. Pham Anh Son (born 1961, residing in Thuong Thon village, Nam Ba Don commune) discovered that his bank account suddenly received 9.9 million VND from a stranger.

After that, Mr. Son continuously received many calls urging him to return the above amount of money. Realizing that this could be a fraudulent trick of "mistaken money transfer", Mr. Son did not arbitrarily transfer money but proactively reported to the police agency for support in verifying.

Upon receiving the information, Nam Ba Don Commune Police quickly reviewed and determined that this was a real mistaken transfer transaction. The person who mistakenly transferred it was Mr. Nguyen Van Hung (born in 2004, residing in Lien Minh residential group, Pho Yen city, former Thai Nguyen province).

Under the witness and legal support of the police force, the amount of 9.9 million VND was returned to Mr. Hung. Receiving his property back, Mr. Hung expressed his emotion and sent his thanks to Mr. Pham Anh Son and the local police force.

According to Nam Ba Don Commune Police, when receiving money transferred by mistake, people should not rush to return it at the request of strangers, do not provide OTP codes or access unusual links, but should immediately report to the police or bank for guidance on handling in accordance with legal regulations.
