During the evening of April 8 and the morning of April 9, many people who were friends or relatives of a Ca Mau department director and a deputy director of a provincial agency received messages through Zalo requesting to borrow money.
After receiving the messages, many recipients tried to call the officials to verify, but the phone lines were either busy or unreachable.
