“Upgrading” fraudulent tricks to sell poor quality drugs and medical services

Báo Thái BìnhBáo Thái Bình13/08/2023


On the morning of August 11, the 108 Central Military Hospital issued a warning about a series of tricks impersonating the hospital to sell poor quality medicine and medical services that harm people's health... It is worth mentioning that the fraud tricks are constantly being "upgraded".

Accordingly, one of the popular methods is to create ambiguous fake page names that can easily cause confusion such as "Hospital 108", "Military Hospital 108", "Military Hospital 108"... Many fake fanpages copy and illegally post posts, logos, and slogans on the hospital's official fanpage; take images and videos of the hospital to cut and paste, and dub to advertise other products.

In addition, scammers have made promising offers with great incentives such as: "Cure diabetes completely without recurrence in just 1 course"; "Medicine for treating gray hair, melasma, beauty products tested by Institute 108"; "Doctor with more than 15 years of experience in the cosmetic industry directly performs"...

Fake pages of doctors from 108 Military Central Hospital.

Not only impersonating hospitals and hospital departments, scammers also impersonate hospital doctors to increase their credibility with the public. The fake content often claims to invite doctors from the 108 Military Central Hospital to their facility to examine patients; directly contacting and introducing themselves as doctors and nurses from the department where the patient has just been discharged to offer patient care services (physical therapy, dressing changes, maternity care, postpartum care for mothers and babies, testing, injections, infusions, etc.)

Many impersonators also promote false medical views. Typically, they apply “natural healing therapies” in a book, which do not require modern medical methods.

In addition to the "explosion" of fake social networking sites (on Facebook, Tiktok, Zalo...), many subjects also solicit and invite patients and their relatives to go to the clinic of the 108 Central Military Hospital.

In particular, there was a group of people who pretended to be from the 108 Military Central Hospital to go to medical examinations, provide health consultations, advertise pharmaceuticals, and organize tours combining medical examinations and treatment in several provinces and cities: Hai Duong, Hai Phong, and Lao Cai.

In order to prevent impersonation and fraud, 108 Military Central Hospital regularly reviews and reports to the authorities to strictly handle the subjects. However, to prevent bad subjects from taking advantage, people need to be more vigilant and select accurate information.

The hospital affirms that it does not supply, cooperate in business, or test any pharmaceutical products or functional foods online. The hospital only sells drugs with a doctor's prescription at pharmacies on the hospital campus. The hospital has not yet implemented home examination and treatment.

The official information portal of 108 Military Central Hospital is www.benhvien108.vn, the official fanpage is "108 Military Central Hospital" with a blue tick of confirmation from Facebook.
