"Recently, we have continuously received complaints from parents and students that there is a clinic that has sent text messages and phone calls asking students to come for general health check-ups. This clinic said that they have a partnership with Thu Duc High School to provide free medical examinations and treatment for students and parents of the school" - a leader of Thu Duc High School said.

According to the above leader: "Our school does not cooperate with any clinic to provide medical examination and treatment for students and parents.

The school will coordinate with a reputable hospital to conduct the health check-up for students at the beginning of the year, and it will be done right on campus, so students do not have to go anywhere. Therefore, the calls and messages that parents and students receive are fake information, deceiving parents and students, impersonating the school" - the leader of Thu Duc High School affirmed.

Not only that, many former students and parents of Thu Duc High School also received the above messages and calls.

"We have issued a wide warning to teachers, parents, students and even former parents and students that such information is fraudulent. Parents and students need to be extremely vigilant.

Before each incident related to the school that is not announced by the homeroom teacher, parents and students should ask the teacher or the school board, and should not follow it" - the leader of Thu Duc High School noted.

Enough tricks to deceive parents

In Ho Chi Minh City, recently there have been many cases of impersonating schools to scam parents and students.

Among them, there are people who call parents pretending to be teachers taking students to the hospital emergency room and ask parents to transfer money. There are people pretending to be school officials asking students and parents to log in to a link to take online exams, test foreign language proficiency, etc.
