Fraudsters have "curriculum", have methods

Mr. Philip Hung Cao, Deputy General Director of VinCSS Cyber Security Services Joint Stock Company, sees Vietnam as a "lowland" in information security awareness, so cybercrime is concentrated in Vietnam.

"The total amount of money that the world has been scammed online is 53 billion USD, of which Vietnamese people have been scammed about 16 billion USD, accounting for nearly 30%," Mr. Philip Hung Cao informed.

Mr. Vo Van Khang, Vice President of the Southern Branch of the Vietnam Information Security Association (Vnisa), also said that online fraud is now an industry, no longer originating from individuals or small groups.

"Fraudsters have a 'curriculum', psychological methods and modern tools to approach victims. With low awareness of information security, Vietnam has become a prime place for criminals to exploit," said Mr. Khang.

"Easy job, high salary" recruitment scam

The survey by the Global Anti-Fraud Alliance (GASA), supported by the Anti-Fraud Project, found that Facebook and Gmail emerged as the main channels for fraud, with 71% of respondents encountering scams through these widely used platforms. This was followed by Telegram (28%), Google (13%) and TikTok (13%).

"Most Vietnamese people are scammed through phone calls and Facebook and Gmail messages/SMS. Among them, identity theft scams have the biggest impact compared to other scams, followed by shopping and recruitment. Many young people and students believe and are attracted by invitations for easy jobs with high salaries. As a result, many of them have been tricked into going to Cambodia, locked up, and beaten if they do not work according to their requests...", Mr. Ngo Minh Hieu informed.

According to Mr. Hieu, in the past 3 years, the Anti-Fraud project has reached hundreds of high schools, colleges and universities across the country such as: Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, Ho Chi Minh City University of Natural Sciences , Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and Law, Open Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics, Hanoi National University... to disseminate and share to help students raise awareness about how to protect themselves in cyberspace.

"We don't stop there. The mission of the Anti-Fraud project is to build a safe, green cyberspace where people can confidently take advantage of the potential of technology and social networks without worrying about fraud and the risk of losing property and losing faith in life," said Mr. Ngo Minh Hieu.

"Hold your breath for 7 seconds before clicking the mouse"

Mr. Vo Van Khang noted: "When using the Internet, users should slow down to stay alert. Being too fast and too trusting will make it easy to be scammed. Ask questions about the origin of the person you are chatting with: Who are they? Why do they know you and have your information? Why do they bring benefits to you when you don't know them?".

Mr. Philip Hung Cao said that one should "hold one's breath for 7 seconds before clicking the mouse" to verify information, or turn off all internet connections when not in use.
