Impersonating universities to defraud students continues

Recently, some bad guys continue to forge documents, seals, signatures and even the identities of university staff to commit fraud and appropriate property of students and parents. Many universities have issued warnings about these sophisticated tricks.

Two cases of fraud were recently recorded by Hanoi University of Natural Resources and Environment.

The two scams recently recorded by the Hanoi University of Natural Resources and Environment are cases of subjects impersonating school officials, lecturers, and employees to collect money for uniforms, class funds, etc. and sending fake notices of receiving scholarships to study abroad... in order to appropriate property.
In particular, after receiving a fake notice that they were on the list of international exchange scholarships in China, students were asked to provide a statement of billions of dong to prove their financial status. The school affirmed that it did not issue international exchange notices and grant such scholarships.

Previously, the University of Electricity also issued many warnings about the appearance of a number of fake documents with the University's signature and seal and fake documents of related units... along with false information about study abroad and student exchange programs.

Through the above incidents, authorities and universities recommend students, trainees and parents:

- Always verify information on official channels such as the school's website ...
