According to the investigation agency's documents, the Hoang Mai City Police Department received a complaint from Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Tam, an employee of BIDV bank, Hoang Mai branch.
On January 23, Ms. Tam made a money transfer at the request of customer LTY with the amount of 1,000,000 VND to a bank account under the name of Le Trong Binh, opened at Vietinbank.
At that time, another customer, Ms. NTS, residing in Quynh Vinh, Hoang Mai Town, went to the bank to make a transaction and requested to transfer 30,000,000 VND to the account of a person in Thanh Hoa. However, during the transaction, Ms. Tam mistakenly transferred 30 million VND to the bank account under the name of Le Trong Binh.
After making the wrong transfer, Ms. Tam contacted Vietinbank to verify Le Trong Binh's bank account and learned that this account had just made a transaction, transferring 30 million VND to another account via the money transfer service on the phone, number 0358.147.597.
Ms. Tam contacted the above phone number and this person confirmed that his name was Le Trong Binh. However, Binh said that he did not know about the above amount of money and that the bank account had been transferred to his younger brother for use a long time ago.
Binh also provided Tam with a phone number, but when Tam called, she could not get through. After calling Binh many times to ask for her money back without any results, Tam "called for help" from the police.
Upon receiving Ms. Tam's report, the Hoang Mai City Police Department established Project 519CG to investigate and verify. The police determined that Le Trong Binh was using the above account opened at Vietinbank, the registered phone number for the account was 0358.147.596. Binh was then living in Vinh Bao district, Hai Phong city.
Suspecting that the police were investigating, Binh left the area. In early June 2019, Binh was arrested by the police as soon as he returned home. Binh later handed over VND30 million to the police.
