It seems that only those who have been scammed by fake shippers are suffering, but that's not necessarily true, because real delivery people are also suffering from bad rumors, some have been threatened with being beaten.

Miserable when real shippers are considered 'fake shippers'
As soon as the story of the "fake shipper" scolding and tricking people into transferring money to receive goods even though they did not order them was published by Tuoi Tre Online , we had the opportunity to talk more with some delivery people, from which we understood more about the situation.
Tung (a shipper in Binh Tan district, Ho Chi Minh City) said that since the appearance of "fake shippers", the real shippers are the ones who suffer from bad reputation.
According to Tung, previously the form of fraud was to deliver empty orders and trick people into transferring money. In the past 2 years, this has happened more and more, and the form has become more and more sophisticated.
Tung "swears" to always respect professional ethics and privacy, keep customer information confidential and follow company regulations. His colleagues around him say the same.
The first hardship that he and other honest shippers have to endure is the rumors and suspicions that they are the ones who commit fraud or sell customer information to another party. "If I had the guts to commit fraud, why would I ship? I swear to God, I would never sell information or anything like that, it's immoral. I just want to work and earn a few thousand dong per order in peace," Tung said.
Next, customers are constantly being bothered by "fake shippers" calling, and when real shippers call, they are immediately labeled as scammers and do not answer the phone. Some customers even report Tung's phone number to the switchboard as spam, scam, harassment...

Being chased away and beaten just because of wearing a shipper's shirt
Nam (a shipper in Binh Chanh District, Ho Chi Minh City) said he has been in the delivery business for 3 years. When he learned about customers being cheated by fake shippers, he was very angry, but did not know what to do. He himself had even suffered a lot from the problem of fake shippers.
Accordingly, Nam recounted how many times he delivered goods to a customer, if he was not home, he would call and bring the goods to the house (at the customer's request - PV). But then, when the delivery arrived, Nam was chased away by a man who was the female customer's husband.
Nam was stunned, not understanding the problem, so he immediately called the recipient's number. Only later did he find out that a few days ago, while the customer was busy with work outside, the fake shipper called, said he was delivering the goods at home and asked for a transfer.
"Maybe she was too busy, so when she was urged to transfer money, she transferred it right away. I always give money to her so I know, she always pays first, but I don't know why," Nam said.
Shipper Dang (in Binh Chanh district) said that being fired was a light punishment, because he himself had been chased and beaten before.
Once, Dang delivered goods to a household. After calling and being told to "wait a moment", Dang stood waiting at the gate. After about 1 minute of stopping at the gate, two men came, insulting him, accusing Dang of being a "fraudster, spying on other people's houses to break in".
"They surrounded and beat me so I had to drive away. Later, my family called to apologize and explain that they had just been scammed by the delivery, but when they opened the bag, there were only rocks and gravel," Dang said, frustrated.
Both Dang and Nam later accepted the apology and forgot everything. Greater than the resentment of being chased and beaten was the helplessness of the "fake shippers".
