Due to increasingly sophisticated fraudulent activities, the National Competition Commission has just issued a recommendation that consumers need to be especially cautious when approaching advertisements for cheap tours and "shockingly discounted" resort combos on social networks.

When people need more information, or have feedback or complaints, they can directly contact the Consumer Consulting and Support Center or visit the official website to receive timely reception, answers and support.

According to information from the Ministry of Public Security , since the beginning of the year, nearly 1,500 cases of online fraud have been discovered. In particular, the tourism sector is considered a "hot spot". Many cases have been prosecuted, typically in Lang Son province, another online tourism fraud ring has appropriated over 250 million VND from 80 victims in just 15 days.

Therefore, the agency under the Ministry of Industry and Trade recommends that before ordering a service, consumers should carefully check information from many different sources.
