On June 3, information from Da Nang City Police said that taking advantage of the 2025 Da Nang International Fireworks Festival attracting the attention of domestic and international people, recently many high-tech criminals have used cyberspace to commit fraud and property appropriation such as fake advertisements selling fireworks tickets and cheap hotel rooms.
Specifically, the subjects posted advertisements on social networks, inviting people to buy tours , fireworks tickets or book hotel rooms at preferential prices.
The subject then asks the buyer to transfer a deposit of 30-50% of the total value. Upon receiving the money, the subjects use the victim's lack of information as an excuse to refuse to refund or cut off contact.
The subjects also faked the websites or fanpages of reputable travel companies and faked the official information pages of the festival.
Criminals also use fake receipts and invoices to create trust and trick buyers into transferring payments. After receiving the money, the subjects immediately block contact and erase all traces.
Faced with the above situation, the Department of Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention, Da Nang City Police recommends that people should book tours, hotel rooms, airline tickets, and international fireworks tickets at reputable units with clear business licenses, full certificates, and positive reviews from the user community.
In particular, customers should not transfer deposits to individuals/organizations that are unclear or suspicious, especially through social media channels such as Facebook, Zalo; be wary of promotions and incentives that are excessive compared to the market...
In case of detecting unusual behavior or suspecting fraud, customers should quickly notify the nearest police agency for support./.
