Lovelyn Delos Santos Galang, a 31- year-old Filipino, was trying to use the card to pay for goods at Future House on Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street, police said.
The man, who is currently living in District 8, was found carrying three fake credit cards bearing his name.
Galang told police that a friend in Macau, China, who he had met online, sent the cards to him early last month. He said he had used the counterfeit cards to buy goods at the shop on three separate occasions, costing VND140 million (US$7,800) in total.
The police are continuing to investigate.
