Below is the edited text, closely following the original text, ensuring correct spelling and grammar, and complying with standardization requirements (Department of Education and Training, Ho Chi Minh City, Provincial Police Department, format date/month/year, no zero before day, month):

Bui Thi Xuan High School (HCMC) has just issued an urgent warning to all parents of 12th grade students in the 2024-2025 school year regarding a new scam targeting 12th grade students after the high school graduation exam results are released.

The announcement stated: “Currently, there are scammers posing as staff of Bui Thi Xuan High School or universities, calling to inform students that they have been admitted, asking for money transfers or providing ID cards to complete the application. The school requests that parents absolutely do not follow this; do not transfer money, do not provide personal information. If in doubt, please immediately contact the homeroom teacher for verification.”

Mr. Huynh Thanh Phu, Principal of Bui Thi Xuan High School, said that right after the Department of Education and Training announced the high school graduation exam scores on July 17, 2025, a 12A3 student of the school received a call from someone claiming to be a school academic staff, asking to provide personal information via the provided link to complete the application form. Another student received a call impersonating a university announcing admission and asking to transfer money.

Suspicious, the students contacted their homeroom teachers for verification. From there, the school sent out a warning to all parents and grade 12 students.

Similarly, Ten Lo Man High School (HCMC) has just sent an urgent notice to parents and 12th grade students, warning them of scams after the 2025 high school graduation exam results were released.

The school's announcement stated: "Currently, after the Department of Education and Training announced the high school graduation exam scores on July 17, 2025, there may be people impersonating teachers and staff of Ten Lo Man High School or representatives of universities, calling to inform students of their admission, then requesting money transfers, payments or providing ID cards, bank accounts, and OTP codes. This is a fraudulent act, taking advantage of the impatience and lack of vigilance of parents and students.

Ten Lo Man High School recommends: Parents and students absolutely do not provide personal information, ID card number, OTP code over the phone; do not transfer money or pay money according to any unclear request. When in doubt, please contact the homeroom teacher or the school for verification."
