Is it possible to avoid the hip!?

- Hey, what are you watching so intently, Auntie Tam? You didn't even notice the guests coming in. You must be watching something inappropriate, right?

- What nonsense, man, don't think everyone's like you. Look at this strange company's message, they sent a gift!

- That's a scam, ma'am. If you believe it, you'll end up in a very far place.

- It didn't ask for any money or anything. If it had asked us to buy a phone card worth one or two million dong to receive a Honda SH motorbike worth hundreds of millions of dong, or transfer money to receive a package shipped from the US, Africa, or Europe, then we wouldn't be so scared.

- Why would he just randomly send a gift to her?

- Look at this path, sir.

- What road are you talking about, Grandma?

- A link, meaning clicking here will take you to a website or app.

- Oh, the link... I'm old and don't know any foreign languages, so I just said that. You see the message clearly stating, "We are not scammers, please trust us, you don't need to transfer money, just click on the link and fill in your information."

- No one who goes around scamming people would say, "We're scammers, give us your money..." Once they're scammers, they'll always create a perfect cover, so even businessmen can't see through it and get tricked, let alone farmers like us. That's how they manage to scam so many people; just recently, a district chairman was scammed out of hundreds of billions of dong.

- Just click the link, what's there to be afraid of? I'm not paying any money. I'm keeping my phone, I'm not transferring any money, but if they offer a gift, I'll accept it. See how I'm better than those scammers? Try to trick me? You're no match for them.

- Click on the link, fill in the information, and then you'll see what it's like.

- Let me click on the link for you to see, fill in the information right away: Nguyen Thi E, 45 years old, address in Ven Song Hamlet. Everything's complete, they'll send you a message, click verify, no foreigner will die...

- Go check your bank account...

- Oh no, Uncle Tư, I only have a few hundred thousand left, I didn't transfer it to anyone and it's all gone!

- Luckily, you only have a few hundred thousand; if you had billions, you'd lose it all. You should offer a bunch of bananas as a sacrifice because you met a wise advisor like me; now you're stuck in a quagmire from which you can never recover.

- Wow, Mr. Tư, how can you be so cunning and clever? I didn't transfer any money, yet I still lost it, even though I had my phone with me all the time!

- The phone has been hacked, that's why. Now take it to the store to have it reinstalled from scratch, delete all those useless apps you downloaded, otherwise, if you leave it like that, the kids will send money home and it'll all be gone in a few days.

- In this digital age, scams using technology are rampant. We have to be extremely cautious when using smart electronic devices. Don't download everything you see, don't click on everything anyone sends you. Being careful will help you avoid being scammed. Just because something looks red doesn't mean it's good, and just because it looks yellow doesn't mean it's ripe. Thinking that your phone is invincible these days is outdated, Diễm. Even Bluetooth headphones have recently had security vulnerabilities discovered that can be used to hack phones and steal data. Isn't that scary?

- It's true that we now need to think differently and have a different perspective on the reality of technology-based scams, but I think we can avoid them if we are cautious and thorough. The old-fashioned scams like topping up phone cards or transferring money to receive gifts are no longer around...

Therefore, please be cautious, avoid downloading unnecessary content, don't click on suspicious links, refrain from visiting unfamiliar websites, and so on...

MRS. EIGHT, MR. FOUR
