Beware of scams when participating in VietNam Airlines Summer Camp

On July 8, Hanoi City Police informed that recently, on social networks, many fanpages appeared such as " Vietnam Airlines Summer Camp 2", "Aviation Career Summer Camp", "Aviation Career Summer Camp 2"... with interfaces, addresses, and phone numbers similar to information of Vietnam Airlines.

When parents want to contact their children to participate in the “Summer Camp”, the subjects will send the application criteria, candidate code and guide the parents to exchange via Zalo of the “Expert”. Although the consultation is free, including meals and accommodation, the participants must practice booking airline tickets online and get a refund. Initially, the domestic airfare is a few million VND, then the international airfare is a few tens of millions VND. When the amount of money booked increases, the subjects will appropriate this money.

Facing the trick of registering for fake aviation summer camps to defraud and appropriate property, the Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention Department, Hanoi City Police, recommends that families be vigilant when looking for information about summer camp programs on social networking sites to avoid being scammed. When encountering cases with signs of fraud, people should contact the nearest police agency to be resolved according to the provisions of the law.
