Online Gold Trading Fraud at Kim Nguyên Bảo Jewelry

The Ho Chi Minh City Police have received reports of fraud related to online gold trading at Kim Nguyên Bảo Jewelry, located on Cach Mang Thang Tam Street, Hoa Hung Ward. Prior to November, the store conducted normal gold transactions, fulfilling orders of small quantities. However, after larger transactions, buyers found the store closed and unable to access the application or contact store representatives. Currently, dozens of customers have reported the store, with estimated losses amounting to billions of Vietnamese dong. The store's fan pages and website are inaccessible, and the physical store has been closed with a "for rent" sign.

Cosmetic Product Recall for MK Skincare

The Drug Administration of Vietnam, under the Ministry of Health, has ordered the recall of 80 product registration numbers and 162 cosmetic products from MK Skincare, a company linked to Malisa Aesthetics. The recall is due to the company's failure to provide product information dossiers. MK Skincare is required to announce the recall, accept returned products, and store the recalled batches until a destruction order is issued by competent authorities. The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health will oversee this recall process.

Cryptocurrency Investment Scam in Da Nang

Da Nang City Police have dismantled a scam ring that defrauded individuals of nearly 90 billion Vietnamese dong through fraudulent investment in the TOI cryptocurrency. Fourteen suspects have been arrested, and numerous documents and equipment used in the criminal activity have been seized. Investigations reveal that since late 2020, the suspects created a fake project named Tosi, hired programmers to develop the cryptocurrency, and conducted extensive media promotion, including false advertising and online seminars to solicit investments. They later claimed the website was down for maintenance due to a hacker attack to abscond with funds and then launched new projects. The police estimate that over 8,000 victims nationwide have been defrauded by this ring.

Impersonation of Police for Data Cleaning Fraud

Binh Chanh District Police in Ho Chi Minh City have issued a warning about individuals impersonating police officers to defraud citizens by requesting "data cleaning" for land and vehicle records. Elderly individuals, who are less familiar with technology, are particularly vulnerable. Authorities emphasize that there is no official application named "Public Service Portal of the Ministry of Public Security" other than the official VNID application. They also state that there are no fees for "land data cleaning" or "vehicle data cleaning" that require payment to personal accounts or unfamiliar applications. Citizens are advised not to respond to calls from unknown individuals regarding vehicle registration updates. Instead, local police officers will visit homes to update vehicle registration data. Any suspicious individuals should be reported to local law enforcement.

Advice for Citizens:

In the face of increasingly sophisticated cybercrime, citizens are advised to remain calm when receiving calls from individuals claiming to be police or government officials. The safest approach is to proactively end the call and then contact the official public phone number of the local police or traffic police department to verify the information.

Robbery and Asset Seizure in Dong Thap

In Dong Thap, police apprehended six suspects within 24 hours of a robbery in My An 1 Hamlet, Thap 10 Commune. Previously, Do Van Thien borrowed 1.4 billion Vietnamese dong from Mr. Tran Van Thanh for a bank loan repayment. Unable to repay the debt, on November 23rd, Thien, along with five other suspects, staged an incident to apprehend Mr. Thanh. When the kidnapping failed, the suspects stole the victim's motorcycle and fled.
