SSI Securities has just warned investors about a form of fraud, impersonating Mr. Nguyen Duy Hung, conducting livestreams to give comments and investment advice.

From the Zalo platform, the subject directed investors to a closed group on the Telegram platform. Here, the subject used AI technology to create fake images and videos of Mr. Nguyen Duy Hung consulting on stock investment to lure investors into a trap.

According to SSI, Mr. Nguyen Duy Hung owns only one blue tick account on the social networking platform Facebook and only uses this page to express personal opinions, not to give investment advice or participate in groups.

Applying AI technology to impersonate leaders of securities companies to commit fraud is one of the sophisticated tricks of financial technology criminals recently. Not only SSI, many other securities companies such as MBS, VNDirect or investment funds have also continuously warned about this situation in recent times.

Recently, a number of other businesses, including Hoa Phat Group (HPG) of Mr. Tran Dinh Long and Vingroup (VIC) of billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong, have also continuously announced that they have been impersonated, warning investors to be careful when making transactions on the internet.

Accordingly, the subjects forged the signature of billionaire Tran Dinh Long, created a website similar to the Vingroup ecosystem, or set up a film studio, TV channel... with the lure of high interest rates and big benefits to scam people.

Recently, many securities companies and businesses have continuously reported being impersonated, advising investors to be careful when trading on the internet.

According to HPG, many individuals/organizations impersonate them, forge documents, signatures and seals to defraud and make illegal profits by many tricks such as inviting recruitment, calling for investment in projects with high interest rates. Investing for 15 minutes will immediately enjoy a profit of 1.32%.

These subjects also forged the signature of Chairman Tran Dinh Long to "sign fresh, stamp red" to create a notice "rectifying regulations on implementing hours, complying with internal rules, regulations, and rules of the company during the project implementation phase".

Similarly, Vingroup Corporation (VIC) was also impersonated by individuals/organizations, creating websites similar to the Vingroup ecosystem to scam and make illegal profits by many tricks such as inviting recruitment and calling for investment in the project.

In the past 2 years, many people said that every day they received dozens of calls from people claiming to be employees of large securities companies such as SSI, VNDirect, MBS... inviting them to join zalo groups to get advice on investing in securities, international commodities... Many people were scammed of huge amounts of money when participating in trading floors, but then could not withdraw their money.

'Borrowing' huge projects, billionaire's signature, calling for investment to get interest after 15 minutes. The subject forged billionaire Tran Dinh Long's signature, created a fake website of billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong's Vingroup or set up a film studio, TV channel... with the lure of high interest rates and big benefits to scam.
