Recurring cases of impersonating social security agencies to commit fraud

Recently, the social insurance agency in Hanoi received a complaint from Ms. T. residing in Cau Giay district about receiving a phone call from a person claiming to be an officer of the State Treasury of Cau Giay district. This person informed Ms. T. that she was one of the few lucky people to receive a gift worth 20 million VND in cash because she had participated in health insurance for many years.

However, to receive the gift, Ms. T. must pay a fee of 1.1 million VND and will receive 2 more boxes of milk worth 900,000 VND. The subject emphasized that Ms. T. only needs to pay 1.1 million VND to the delivery person when she receives the 2 boxes of milk and does not have to pay any other fees.

As for the lucky bonus, the subject said that the Director and accountant of the State Treasury of Cau Giay district will come to Ms. T's house to give it to her.

To make sure she was not deceived, Ms. T. went to the headquarters of the State Treasury of Cau Giay district to meet the subject directly, but the subject avoided her with the excuse that he was "on leave".

When Ms. T. asked for more information about this person's job position, the subject was evasive and only said that he worked at the Insurance of the State Treasury of Cau Giay District.

Suspecting fraud, Ms. T. went to the Social Insurance agency of Cau Giay district to verify and was told that the above information was completely incorrect.

Similarly, recently, there have been a number of websites, Zalo, Facebook, phone numbers, etc. impersonating agencies, civil servants, and employees of Binh Duong Provincial Social Insurance to take advantage of and defraud people who need to resolve work, consult on social insurance policies, unemployment insurance, and health insurance.

Specifically, when accessing a personal Facebook page, searching with the keyword "Binh Duong social insurance" or "Binh Duong social insurance", it is easy to see personal Facebook pages and public groups related to consulting and resolving the need to receive one-time social insurance and social insurance, unemployment insurance, and health insurance policies and regimes.

It is worth mentioning that groups that support, liquidate, mortgage, buy and sell social insurance books; provide consulting services, handle all kinds of records and documents that require people to pay "commission" fees, ... take place publicly, with contact phone numbers of the groups on Facebook, Zalo, ... for people to contact.

This is not the first time this has happened. Previously, Vietnam Social Security has issued many warnings about impersonating social security agencies, officials and employees to defraud people. At the same time, this agency has sent documents requesting relevant authorities to promptly prevent and handle organizations and individuals with violations and widely inform people and employees.

Through the above incident, Vietnam Social Security continues to recommend that people when carrying out administrative procedures on social insurance and health insurance need to be more vigilant to prevent being taken advantage of and scammed by bad guys.

In addition, people also need to improve their knowledge of laws, social insurance policies, unemployment insurance, health insurance; regularly monitor announcements from authorities about crime and fraud methods on mass media.

In case of any problems when performing administrative procedures of the Vietnam social insurance industry, employees/individuals should contact the nearest social insurance agency directly or contact the Customer Care and Support Service Center via hotline: 1900.9068 or 0243.7899999 (during office hours) for support.

Currently, Vietnam Social Security only has one Facebook-approved Fanpage at: https://www.facebook.com/baohiemxahoi.gov.vn. Users should be careful to avoid fake pages.
