A scam involving promises of recovering investment funds.

According to information from the Cybersecurity Department, in recent days, many accounts with fraudulent characteristics have appeared on social media, offering assistance in recovering money for victims involved in the fraud case led by Mr. Pips, which involved the misappropriation of over 5.2 trillion VND.

Warning: This is a scam involving claims of helping investors recover their money.

Taking advantage of many people's desire to recover their stolen money, the perpetrators created Facebook accounts with names related to capital recovery, posting videos introducing services to help recover money lost in the Mr. Pips scam. Simultaneously, these accounts also promised to recover over 70% of the money stolen. The posts were advertised, attracting tens of thousands of views, likes, and comments.

The perpetrators gain the trust of victims in the scam by posting comments containing false information, claiming to be the ones who used the service and got their money back.

From there, the perpetrators collect personal information from those in need and exploit it to commit acts of property theft or sell the information on the market. During the transaction process, the perpetrators request users to transfer money via e-wallets or cryptocurrencies, making it difficult to trace them later.

In addition, perpetrators can use AI and automated bots to expand the scope of their scams and may use AI to impersonate voices or identities to increase their credibility.

Emphasizing the need for people to be vigilant and cautious about the new "money recovery assistance" scam in the 5.2 trillion VND fraud case involving TikToker Mr. Pips, to avoid becoming victims again, NCSC experts recommend that people pay attention to signs that help identify and prevent fraud.

Accordingly, the Cybersecurity Department emphasizes that people need to be extremely vigilant against scams offering to help recover money in the Mr. Pips case and should not trust fraudulent online money recovery services.

Additionally, it is important to avoid providing sensitive personal information. If you suspect or have already become a victim of fraud, you should immediately report it to the authorities for assistance and legal action.

Citizens should absolutely not provide personal information, not transfer money to strangers, and should be wary of unofficial payment channels. If any signs of fraud are detected, they should immediately report it to the authorities for appropriate action.
