Fraud via social networks Facebook and Zalo happens a lot in Binh Dinh
According to Binh Dinh Provincial Police, there are victims who were scammed of more than 6 billion VND from the above-mentioned commission scheme. Specifically, the subjects created Facebook, Zalo accounts... impersonating employees of large brands and companies, posting articles recruiting collaborators with light work and high salaries, collaborators interacting, sharing articles and videos to earn money, receive gratitude gifts...
Once they find their "prey", the subjects continue to guide them to join groups on social networking platforms to do tasks, deposit money and receive commissions. For the first few times, the subjects return the money plus commissions immediately, and the victims begin to trust and perform higher-level tasks with large deposits to have more turns doing tasks during the day and receive more commissions. However, when the amount of money deposited is larger, the subjects will use the excuse of system errors to not pay.
With the mentality of wanting to get the money back, and believing in the promise that the deposited amount will be refunded, the victim continues to deposit money according to the instructions of the subjects until they are no longer able to deposit money and realize that they have been scammed and their property has been appropriated.
After receiving money from the victim, the criminals dispersed the money in the account and cut off contact with the victim.
Binh Dinh Provincial Police recommend that people should be vigilant, immediately stop money transfers to scammers when detecting suspicious signs, and immediately contact the bank that opened the account to report the investigation or block the transaction when possible.
