Receiving 205 million VND mistakenly transferred, fish pond owner in Quang Tri tri tries to return it
Quang Tri - Discovering that a personal account received a large amount of money transferred by a stranger, the fish pond owner proactively reported and returned the entire amount according to regulations.
On January 13, Cua Tung Commune Police (Quang Tri Province) informed that from the report of the people, the unit had verified and returned the amount of 205 million VND that people outside the province had mistakenly transferred.
Previously, on January 9, Mr. Tran Van Son (born in 1974, owner of Son Thuy fish pond, residing in An Hoa 2 village, Cua Tung commune) went to Cua Tung commune police to report that his personal account suddenly received 205 million VND of unknown origin.
Through verification, the police force determined that the above amount of money belonged to Mr. Nguyen Hong Thai (born in 1986, residing in Nui Tuong commune, the old Dong Nai province) due to negligence in the process of bank transactions, so it was mistakenly transferred to Mr. Son's account.
After clarification, Cua Tung Commune Police instructed Mr. Tran Van Son to coordinate with the bank to fully carry out the refund procedures. The entire amount of 205 million VND was returned to Mr. Nguyen Hong Thai in accordance with the law.
According to Cua Tung Commune Police, Mr. Son's proactive reporting and quick refund of money demonstrates a spirit of honesty and responsibility, contributing to spreading positive values in the community.
Through the incident, the police agency recommends that people who receive money transferred by mistake or assets of unknown origin should proactively contact the authorities or banks for instructions on how to handle the case properly to avoid arising unnecessary legal risks.
As reported by Lao Dong Newspaper, on the evening of January 12, the Investigation Police Agency of Quang Tri Province Police issued a decision to prosecute the case, prosecute the accused and issue an order to temporarily detain Mr. Nguyen The Lu (born in 1992, residing in Quarter 4, old Ward 3; now Quang Tri Ward) for the crime of illegal possession of property. Previously, in November 2025, Mr. Lu's account received nearly 500 million VND from Ms. Th. (residing in Lao Bao commune, Quang Tri province), a long-time friend of Mr. Lu, mistakenly transferred. Ms. Th. has contacted and provided relevant documents many times to request a refund; the police and local authorities have come to propagate and mobilize but Mr. Lu has not found many reasons not to return the money.
