On the afternoon of June 8, the price of SJC gold bars was commonly listed by companies at around 114.9 million VND/tael for buying and 117.2 million VND/tael for selling, stable compared to yesterday.
Compared to last weekend, gold price decreased by 1 million VND/tael and lost about 3 million VND/tael in the past 2 weeks.
In the context of the volatile gold market, increasing demand for gold along with increasingly sophisticated fraud methods, banks have warned customers to be absolutely vigilant when buying and selling gold.
BIDV said that recently, some gold trading enterprises have impersonated the brands of fake websites, fanpages, and social network accounts of large gold trading enterprises; using similar domain names, interfaces, and logos to cause confusion with official pages.
These sites have posted fake information about gold/silver prices, promotions, high discounts, big rewards, to attract buyers and create trust.
"Inviting online gold trading, promising high profits, paying interest daily or weekly to commit illegal acts.
Sending messages and emails impersonating businesses or leaders of gold/silver companies to announce winning prizes, collecting customer and citizen data to commit illegal acts" - BIDV representative informed.
The price of SJC gold bars fluctuates and increases, people's demand for gold storage increases, and the market also sees many new, more sophisticated scams.
As a credit institution licensed by the State Bank to trade in gold bars, SHB has also just issued a warning to customers to stay alert and avoid being taken advantage of and having their assets appropriated.
Fraudsters will impersonate websites, fanpages, and social media accounts with domain names, interfaces, and logos identical to reputable gold trading brands such as SJC, DOJI , Bao Tin Minh Chau, Phu Quy, etc. or licensed credit institutions such as SHB, making it easy for users to mistake them for the official site.
After building trust, the subjects spread fake news about gold/silver prices, advertised promotions, high discounts, and attractive rewards. Taking advantage of greed and lack of vigilance, the subjects invited online investment, committed to high profits, and paid interest daily/weekly - essentially a form of fraud with signs of pyramid schemes or money appropriation.
"When the victim falls into the trap, they continue to send messages and emails impersonating the business or company leader to announce the winning prize, requesting personal information and bank account for profit" - SHB representative stated the sophisticated tricks of the criminals.
Even criminals impersonate relatives, gold company employees, call or contact via social networks to approach and scam in many different forms.

Similarly, Military Bank (MB) also recommends that customers carefully check fanpages, websites, clear links, and information about transaction locations permitted to buy and sell gold bars of credit institutions in the area and nationwide.
Verify payment account information, ask the seller to confirm payment upon receipt of goods; always verify account number, recipient name, business address via official website, hotline of reputable brands.
To avoid being scammed, consumers should buy and sell directly at licensed businesses with a trading nameplate, a signboard clearly stating the location licensed to buy and sell gold bars, and publicly post a certified copy of the license...
"When detecting incidents or phenomena with signs of fraud or suspected property appropriation, customers need to immediately contact the nearest police agency for timely support," said an MB representative.
