A Gia Lai resident lost more than 368 million dong after falling victim to an online scratch-off lottery prize scam promoted on social media platforms, according to Gia Lai Police.
Police said that in recent times, individuals have exploited cyberspace to commit asset-appropriation crimes through online scratch-off lottery schemes on platforms such as Facebook, TikTok and YouTube.
In the case reported, on April 7, Mr. N.C.M (49, a resident of Gia Lai) participated in a “buy prize ticket” program promoted by a Facebook account named “Cty Vé Cào Thần Tài 88888.” Mr. M transferred 299,000 dong to purchase a ticket.
After that, the suspects contacted him via Messenger, guided him to watch a livestream of scratching tickets, and claimed that he had won a prize of up to 1.872 billion dong. They then demanded additional payments to receive the prize, including processing fees and foreign exchange fees.
Police noted that the suspects repeatedly told Mr. M that “the transfer content was wrong,” prompting him to transfer again while claiming the amounts would be accumulated into the total prize value.
Mr. M was also asked to pay 5% personal income tax, estimated at approximately 93.6 million dong, along with international transfer fees of more than 190 million dong.
Believing the instructions, he made a total of six transfers to accounts provided by the suspects, totaling 368.622 million dong.
To build trust, the suspects sent fake screenshots showing a transfer of 1.872 billion dong, along with messages such as “the system is processing due to the large amount” and requests to wait 24 hours.
When no money was received and the contact was cut off, Mr. M realized he had been scammed.
From the incident, Gia Lai Police advised people to remain vigilant against online prize tricks and to absolutely not transfer money to strangers in any form to avoid fraud and asset theft.
