👮‍♂️Scammer Gang Arrested by Vietnam Police in June 2024! 🚔
Exciting News, Binancian Community!🚨
In 2023, a notorious scam trend emerged in Vietnam where scammers deceived victims (buyers on Binance P2P). These fraudsters contacted potential victims offline via Zalo (a local chat apps) and tricked them into scanning a login QR code to take over their accounts. But fear not, we took swift action to protect our users from these ATO (account takeover) risks! 💪🔒
Here’s how we tackled the scam head-on:
1. Upgraded Risk Image Model: We enhanced our system to capture scam screenshots in real-time and intercept them. 📸🚫
2. Identified Scammer Recipients: By analyzing victim payment details, we identified the scammers through their recipient accounts. 🕵️‍♂️💡
3. Enhanced Chat Detection Model and Rules: We added Zalo Gang-related content to our risk system for better identification. 📝🔍
4. Victim Protection: We safeguarded victims by suspending withdrawal functions when detecting risks in their accounts. 🛡️🚫
Victims also reported the scam to local law enforcement (LE) - the Vietnamese police. Through diligent investigation, LE managed to locate and arrest the fraudsters. The sentencing is severe, ranging from 20 years to life imprisonment according to Vietnamese law. ⚖️⛓️
Kudos to the Vietnamese LE for swiftly locating the fraudsters and bringing justice to the victims! 👏👏
Stay safe and vigilant, Binancians! Together, we can keep our community secure. 💪🔐
