Vietnam police retrieve mistaken transfers, arrest fraud suspect
Police in Quang Ninh province verified and assisted several citizens who had mistakenly transferred large sums of money. In one case, a resident of Bãi Cháy recovered more than 37 million VND after police coordinated with officials in Thái Nguyên. Similar actions helped a Hanoi resident recover 275 million VND and another person retrieve over 46 million VND, with the recipients voluntarily returning the funds following police outreach.
In Ninh Bình province, police detained 21‑year‑old Trương Đình Cường on suspicion of fraud after he allegedly solicited 45 million VND from three victims via a TikTok‑promoted investment scheme promising high returns. After receiving the money, he cut off contact and left the area. Authorities warned the public to be cautious of online investment offers and to report suspicious requests.
