Trick people into watching movies online and voting for money to steal property

Recently, the Department of Cyber ​​Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention - Hanoi City Police has issued a warning about fraudulent methods of appropriating property through the method of inviting people to watch movies online and vote for a fee.

First, the subjects got to know the victims on Facebook, introducing them to download the Telegram social networking application to watch movies online and vote for a fee.

Next, there was a Telegram social network account that sent a friend request and a message with instructions on how to use the money-making service; the subject sent a link and instructions on how to log in to the account and access a website to watch movies and do tasks.

The scammers send a link and instruct the victim to log in to their account and access a website to watch movies and do tasks.

Through the first two voting steps, the subjects paid a small amount of money into the victim's account, making the victim trust and continue to join the group, depositing money into the savings account.

After depositing money and completing the requirements set forth by the subject, the system now reports that the data has been entered incorrectly and requires that in order to withdraw money, the data compensation amount of 36 million VND must be deposited.

The reasons given by the scammers to get the victims to deposit more money. Thinking that the only way to get their money back is to deposit more money, the victims fall deeper into the scammers' trap.

In the face of the current fraud situation, the Department of Information Security ( Ministry of Information and Communications ) recommends that people need to raise their awareness of fraud and property appropriation. Proactively verify the identity of the subject before making a money transfer transaction.

Never share bank account numbers, OTP codes, passwords, or any sensitive information.

Do not access strange links or download applications of unknown origin. In case of suspicion of fraudulent property appropriation, promptly notify the police for timely prevention and guidance on how to resolve the matter.
