Informing reporters of the Journalist & Public Opinion Newspaper, a parent in Hanoi said that he had just received a call from the number 0703850*** informing him that he was being treated at Hospital 108 and asked to transfer money to pay the hospital fees.
This parent recounted that the caller said: “Uncle, are you TM’s father? I am TM’s friend. TM had an accident and is being treated at the 108 Military Hospital. Please transfer money so I can pay his hospital bill or he will be in critical condition.”
Currently, there are cases of parents receiving calls asking them to transfer money because their children are in emergency care in the hospital (illustrative photo - internet source).
Luckily, this morning this parent's child was staying home to study for the exam so he was not fooled.
Also related to fraud, Chu Van An High School, Hanoi had to send out a notice to all parents of all grades and staff and teachers in the school to warn about the fraudulent behavior of bad guys.
Specifically, according to the school's announcement, yesterday (March 13), two parents were called by a bad guy pretending to be a teacher/ medical staff of the school to inform them that their child had an accident and said: "Your child is in the emergency room and needs to transfer money immediately to be hospitalized."
In the announcement of Chu Van An High School, Hanoi, it is stated that “bad guys have very clear information about students and exact names of teachers, including subjects taught. We respectfully request that homeroom teachers send information to parents of students in the class to raise vigilance; school staff, teachers, and employees should grasp the situation and be vigilant,” Chu Van An High School announced.
This school also recommends that parents, if they receive a text message or call with similar content, should immediately contact the school's Vice Principal or homeroom teachers to verify and avoid transferring money to bad guys.
Speaking to reporters from the Journalist & Public Opinion Newspaper, Ms. Nguyen Thi Nhiep, Principal of Chu Van An High School, said that fortunately, parents were alert, so no one has been scammed so far.
