Warning about fraudulent activities impersonating OpenAI and the Vietnam Registering Authority.

The Information Security Department ( Ministry of Information and Communications ) recently warned about a series of scams impersonating OpenAI and the Vietnam Register Department to exploit users' trust.

Scammers create fake social media pages, posting products at cheap prices to attract buyers. When victims contact them, they ask for a deposit, then block communication to steal the money.

In particular, campaigns impersonating OpenAI often target users interested in technology and artificial intelligence.

Scammers are impersonating OpenAI's services and software, or creating fake promotions to lure users with cheap AI service packages or exclusive features in order to steal money.

With this campaign impersonating the Vehicle Registration Department, the perpetrators target users who need vehicle registration services or vehicle maintenance and insurance services.

Scammers exploit people's trust in government agencies to commit fraud, demanding users pay registration fees, vehicle inspection reservation fees, or insurance packages at low costs.

Notably, these individuals also created fake fan pages impersonating entertainment programs, providing their bank account numbers and tricking users into transferring money.

These are sophisticated tactics that exploit the image of reputable organizations to deceive unsuspecting consumers. Therefore, users should always carefully check the origin of websites and only transact through the official channels of reputable organizations.
