With only a few months left until Lunar New Year 2025, Vietnam Airlines and authorities have recorded a number of cases of websites, organizations, and individuals claiming to be agents of the airline.
Specifically, some websites have similar domain names, which can easily confuse customers, such as: vietnamairslines.com; vietnamaairlines.com; vietnamairlinesvn.com; vemaybayvietnam.com. These websites have addresses, interfaces, colors, and logos designed similarly to the official website of Vietnam Airlines. Therefore, it is difficult to distinguish them from the official website of Vietnam Airlines (https://www.vietnamairlines.com).
Fraudsters often impersonate Vietnam Airlines level 1 ticket agents. When customers complete the procedures to buy flight tickets, they will receive a booking code as a security deposit and a warning to pay immediately or the ticket will be canceled.
After receiving the money, the subject did not issue a ticket and cut off contact. The transactions were made online, after payment the customer only received a booking code but the agent did not issue a ticket. Because the booking code had not been issued to the airline ticket, it would automatically cancel after a while and the customer would only know about this when they arrived at the airport to check in.
Not only that, some subjects send emails or messages informing customers that they have “won” a prize or received a flight ticket promotion. When customers access the attached link and provide information, the scammers will steal credit card information or request payment.
In addition to the above methods, many scammers, after receiving money from customers, still issue tickets but then refund the tickets (paying a refund fee) and taking most of the money the buyer paid.
Faced with the above sophisticated tricks, the Information Security Department recommends that people who need to book airline tickets, train tickets, etc. should conduct transactions through official websites, mobile applications or directly at ticket offices and official agents of the airline.
Customers who buy air tickets on the website should pay special attention to accessing the correct official address of the airline or contacting the hotline directly if they need answers or direct support related to booking and buying tickets. If you receive offers for air tickets that are too cheap compared to the information of the airline, do not rush to book tickets but check again because it may be a trick of bad guys with the purpose of fraud.
In addition, the Department of Information Security recommends that people do not access strange links or download applications of unknown origin to avoid device control and property appropriation.
