Every summer, the need for students to participate in life skills training programs and experience a disciplined environment such as "Military Semester" and "Police Semester" increases.
These are highly regarded classes that help teenagers develop their character, discipline, and personality. However, due to this practical need, many sophisticated scams have recently emerged, impersonating the above programs to steal money and personal information from parents.
On social networks, especially Facebook, these subjects have created a series of fake fanpages with confusing names such as "Military Summer 2025", "Summer Camp - People's Public Security Semester"... These pages often use images cut from official programs, combined with attractive advertisements such as "100% of trainers are soldiers", "have certificates from the Ministry of National Defense ", "have shuttle service"... making many people trust them.
Not only stopping at falsifying images and information, the subjects also use tricks to pay fees, make deposits or participate in challenges to receive support. Parents who want their children to participate in the program will have to transfer a sum of money in advance to a personal account designated by them. In many cases, after transferring money, the fanpage is deleted, the phone number is blocked, and then the parents realize they have been scammed.
Not only do parents lose money, they also risk having their personal information stolen. During the registration process, the subjects often ask for the full name, phone number, address, and even the citizen identification number of parents and students. If this information falls into the wrong hands, it could potentially be exploited for other fraudulent activities.
Ms. Phung Thi Diem Huong in Ap Dong village, Bai Say commune (An Thi) Share: I saw an advertisement for a military semester program on social media, with pictures of the barracks, children wearing military uniforms, and practicing regulations, so I registered my child. However, when I saw the fanpage asking for a deposit in advance, I was suspicious and decided not to transfer the money. Later, I read that the fanpage was fake.
Mr. Dang Ngoc Dong, Deputy Secretary of the Hung Yen Provincial Youth Union, said: Currently, the Provincial Youth Union coordinates with the Provincial Military Command to organize the "Semester in the Army" class; the Provincial Children's House organizes a life skills experience class. The class is held in the barracks or training center, with a specific plan, approved by the competent authority, and the team of trainers are officers, life skills experts, and teachers who are carefully selected. Spontaneous programs, under the name of the army and police, not only cause economic damage to parents but also affect the reputation of official organizations.
Faced with this situation, Mr. Dang Ngoc Dong, Deputy Secretary of the Hung Yen Provincial Youth Union, advised parents to be extremely alert and not to rush to believe information on social networks if it has not been verified. When there is a need for children to participate in programs such as "Semester in the Army" or Life Skills Experience Class, they need to carefully research the information and contact directly with units such as the Provincial Youth Union, the Department of Education and Training or the Provincial Military Command for verification.
Parents absolutely do not transfer money in advance, do not scan QR codes, do not click on strange links provided by unclear fanpages. In case of detecting signs of fraud, it is necessary to immediately report to the nearest police station for timely guidance and handling.
