Warning about fraudulent activities involving impersonation of officials from the Department of Planning and Investment.

This morning, May 25th, information from the Department of Planning and Investment (DPI) indicated that, following complaints from businesses, cooperatives, and household businesses about the impersonation of department officials to carry out fraudulent activities for illicit gain, the unit has issued a warning and requested relevant agencies to investigate and prevent such activities.

Accordingly, recently, some business owners, cooperatives, and household businesses in the province have reported the appearance of individuals impersonating officials from the Department of Planning and Investment, contacting them to offer to sell books, software, documents, or participate in training courses, or receive sponsorship; in some cases, impersonating officials to handle administrative procedures related to business registration over the phone, requesting personal documents and information unrelated to the administrative procedure.

According to Deputy Director of the Department of Planning and Investment Le Thi Thuong, these are acts of impersonating department officials for illicit gain, affecting the reputation and image of the state management agency. The Department of Planning and Investment affirms that it has not sent any officials to contact by phone or use any other form of communication to support any activities as reflected in the aforementioned allegations.

To warn and prevent such activities, we have sent a document to relevant units requesting that they disseminate this information to the general public and businesses to prevent exploitation. At the same time, we request that the Provincial Police direct its operational units to review, investigate, and handle organizations and individuals who impersonate officials of the Department of Planning and Investment for the purpose of fraud, illegal profiteering, and causing inconvenience to businesses.
