According to the police, taking advantage of the psychology of people who often organize family trips during the summer break after a year of studying for students, scammers will post advertisements for selling tours, cheap or discounted hotel rooms on the internet and social networks with many accompanying utilities to enjoy incentives. When someone contacts them, the subjects will lure them, asking them to transfer a deposit of 30-50% of the value, thereby appropriating the deposit.

To avoid falling into scams, people should note to only book tours and rooms through the official websites of reputable travel agencies and hotels; do not believe in advertisements for unusually low prices.

Before transferring the deposit, please call the hotel or travel agency's official hotline for confirmation; absolutely do not transact with individuals who impersonate you, request money transfer via private accounts, or unclear phone numbers; keep personal information confidential, avoid providing photos of your ID card to strangers online.

When encountering fraud cases, people need to quickly report to the nearest police station or send information via crime denunciation via VNeID for support in handling.
