Forged social security invitation to commit fraud

On October 28, Ho Chi Minh City Social Insurance issued a warning about the situation of forging social insurance documents and papers to defraud people.

Accordingly, recently, the Ho Chi Minh City Social Insurance agency has recorded many cases where individuals have exploited the forgery of documents, invitations, seals, and signatures of agency leaders to commit fraud, steal personal information, and seize assets from citizens. Notably, some forged documents are sophisticatedly designed, using fonts, layouts, and red seals similar to genuine administrative documents of the Social Insurance agency, making it easy for people to be misled.

Recently, fake "invitation letters" bearing forged red stamps and signatures of Social Security leaders have reappeared. The documents cite "Decree 164, 188-2025" and invite individuals to the Social Security office to "receive support for health insurance contributions and a 50% reimbursement of medical expenses due to the impact of Typhoon Yagi." These fake "invitation letters" also request individuals to bring their chip-based citizen identification cards, health insurance records, and provide a " Ministry of Health portal record code." This is a clear indication of illegal personal data collection. Furthermore, the use of forged documents to deceive people lulls them into a false sense of security.

Forged documents used to deceive people.

The Ho Chi Minh City Social Insurance agency affirms that it does not issue any invitations in the manner described above. The agency also does not request personal information from citizens via unknown phone numbers.

The Ho Chi Minh City Social Insurance Agency (BHXH TPHCM) advises citizens to absolutely not provide personal data to any individual or organization of unknown origin or impersonating BHXH. When receiving documents bearing the name and seal of BHXH TPHCM, carefully check the administrative information, legal basis, and compare it with the official BHXH TPHCM website at https://tphcm.baohiemxahoi.gov.vn.

If there are any doubts about the authenticity of a document, people should contact the Social Insurance office in their place of residence or the hotline 1900.9068 for verification.

To ensure safety, the Ho Chi Minh City Social Insurance recommends that participants proactively check and look up information on the official website of the Ho Chi Minh City Social Insurance at: tphcm.baohiemxahoi.gov.vn.
