Account receives 1 billion VND, people report to the police to contact and return it
Lam Dong - Ms. Nguyen Thi Le Thu has just reported to Ninh Gia commune police and coordinated to return 1 billion VND to the person who transferred the money by mistake.
On the morning of January 3, Ninh Gia Commune Police (Lam Dong Province) said that the unit had supported Ms. Nguyen Thi Le Thu (residing in Hiep Thuan Village, Ninh Gia Commune) to complete the procedures to return the amount of 1 billion VND to the person who transferred it by mistake.
Previously, on the evening of December 29, 2025, Ms. Thu suddenly received 1 billion VND transferred to her account through 3 transactions from a strange account. Immediately after discovering the incident, she proactively reported it to Ninh Gia Commune Police.
Through verification, the police force identified the person who transferred the money by mistake as Mr. Dang Van Phu (residing in Di Linh district, Lam Dong). Mr. Phu said that due to negligence in the process of paying for agricultural products, the company's accountant mistakenly transferred money to Ms. Thu's account for receiving false information from the partner.
On January 2, under the witness and guidance of Ninh Gia Commune Police, Ms. Thu voluntarily returned the entire amount of 1 billion VND to Mr. Phu and pledged not to file any complaints.
Mr. Phu sent his thanks to Ms. Thu and the police force for their timely support.
The authorities recommend that people do not arbitrarily use or transfer money back when receiving money from a foreign account.
In similar cases, it is necessary to immediately contact the police or bank for instructions on how to handle it in accordance with regulations, avoiding legal risks and fraud tricks.
