Warning about scams during tourist season

Entering the 2025 summer travel season, taking advantage of the increasing demand for air tickets, travel combos, tourist areas, hotels, resorts, etc. of people, scammers have impersonated travel agencies, tourist areas, resorts, etc. to post information about booking tours and hotel rooms to appropriate people's property.

The methods and tricks of the subjects are:

Hire a Facebook blue tick service or buy Facebook accounts with blue ticks from before, rename them to tourist areas, hotels, resorts or reputable travel businesses to create trust for people, run ads and post information about booking airline tickets, hotel rooms...

Provide information about attractive travel programs, ticket funds, and room funds with prices similar to those of official establishments to avoid suspicion from the people. Many Facebook pages post all official information of real establishments.

Ask people to transfer 50% in advance as a deposit, then provide a fake booking code and ask the victim to pay the full amount in advance.

Ministry of Public Security warns:

People need to carefully check the information of social media accounts that sell or advertise travel combos, hotel rooms, resorts, etc. It is necessary to check information posted from many different sources: Facebook, Tiktok, official websites of businesses, accommodation facilities, etc.

Check the transparency of social media accounts. Most fake accounts are newly created or have recently changed their names and post advertisements in a short time. People can easily check this information and should not transact with accounts that show the above signs.

After making a deposit, you need to check the specific information about your booking code. Contact the official phone number of the airline, accommodation, resort, etc. to check your code, check the reputation of the ticket and booking agent before paying the full amount.

Report to the nearest police station when being scammed and having your property stolen on the internet.
