The case of female student MT, a final year student at a famous medical university in Ho Chi Minh City, racing to get her statement and being scammed out of money is shocking not only because of the development of the case but also because of the "huge" amount of money.
According to the family's report, within just 3 days, from May 26, in order to be on the top of the account statements to receive a scholarship to study abroad in Germany, MT repeatedly asked his parents to transfer 7 billion VND.
5 times T.'s parents transferred to their daughter the amount of money respectively 1.5 billion; 1.48 billion; 2.02 billion, 500 million VND and 1.5 billion VND.

Only when the total amount transferred to their daughter was 7 billion VND, did T.'s parents suspiciously ask someone to check T.'s account balance. Only then did they realize that their daughter's account had no money left and had been swindled.
Along with the incident report, T.'s family sent a notice about the school's international student exchange program in Germany below, with the stamp and signature of the school's Vice Principal.
The school confirmed that this is a fake announcement, impersonating the school from the content to the signature and seal. The school does not have any exchange program as stated in the announcement.
However, not only T., in reality there have been many cases of students being scammed out of billions of dong with many different tricks.

Students were taught by "fake police" how to cheat their parents out of 3 billion VND
Recently, the Criminal Police Department ( Ministry of Public Security ) received a complaint from NTG, 20 years old, residing in Cau Giay, Hanoi, a student at a local university, who was scammed and had more than 3 billion VND appropriated.
According to the report, G. received a phone call from a man claiming to be a police officer informing him that G. was a suspect in a criminal case. At the same time, he was asked to come to Ho Chi Minh City to report and cooperate in the investigation of the case. However, because G. was studying, he could not come to Ho Chi Minh City.
The subject instructed G. to download Zoom software, provide a meeting ID and request to join. At the meeting, G. was informed by the subject about a fraud ring, the names of G. and many others to defraud and appropriate assets with a scale of up to 31 billion VND.
They also asked G. to keep this case a secret from his relatives within the next 72 hours, otherwise he would face criminal charges.
These people threatened that the subject in the fraud ring had declared that G. had sold his information for 600 million VND. Therefore, they asked G. to share his phone and computer screen during the entire exchange to cooperate with the investigation.
They asked the female student to deposit money into a designated account to prove her innocence. When G. said she had no money, they instructed her to lie to her family to prove her financial status under the full scholarship program and appropriated more than 3 billion VND.
