A 17-year-old boy from Nam Giang commune used social media accounts to target vendors selling goods via livestreams. After selecting an item, he would contact the seller to agree on a price.

He would then create a fake bank transfer receipt and send it to the seller. Upon receiving the fabricated receipt, the vendors, believing they had been paid, would ship the goods.

Police have determined that since 2024, the teenager has faked over 300 bank transfers, defrauding numerous victims across the country.

Authorities have confiscated a substantial amount of goods, estimated to be worth around 100 million dong (USD).

The Department of Cybersecurity and High-Tech Crime Prevention has handed the case over to the Quang Tri Provincial Police Investigation Agency for further investigation.
