On June 28, Hanoi City Police issued a warning about people being scammed when participating in the Dropshipping business model.
This is a form of retail where the seller does not need to store their products in a warehouse. Instead, the seller only needs to forward orders and customer details of the product to the manufacturer or product supplier.
The subjects took advantage of this business model to lure many victims to participate, then appropriated the money.
Specifically, Mr. X. in Hanoi was introduced by friends to participate in distributing orders at https://atlanticmallccenter.com.
Mr. X. is allowed to post 100 products and receive 20% profit on each order after the product is sold to the buyer from 4 to 6 days.
On the first day, Mr. X. sold 1 order and earned the promised profit. He bought an advertising package worth 10 million VND with a commitment to sell 8 orders/day.
The subjects introduced Mr. X. to upgrade his store with the amount of 12,000 USD to enjoy the policy of 20 days without having to pay for orders and 30% profit on each order. With similar methods, the subjects asked Mr. X. to pay more money to enjoy the incentives.
When the prescribed time expired, Mr. X. withdrew money from the system and was required to pay an additional 35% of the profit, equivalent to nearly 1 billion VND, to withdraw the money.
According to the police, the total amount of money he was embezzled was 9.7 billion VND.
From the above incident, Hanoi City Police advise online sellers to be cautious and verify information carefully when participating in the Dropshiping business model and making money transfers. People need to be vigilant when faced with the opportunity to receive large profits thanks to online business applications.
When encountering cases with signs of fraud, people need to contact the police for timely resolution.
