(binhthuan.gov.vn) Currently, there has been a continuous situation of fake Facebook FanPage of Vietnam Social Security in order to defraud and appropriate people's property.

Lately, Vietnam Social Security received information from the Investigation Police Agency – Public Security of Nam Sach district, Hai Duong province about some subjects pretending to be Facebook Fanpage of Vietnam Social Security to defraud and appropriate property of people.

Specifically, on February 6, 2023, due to the need to withdraw social insurance benefits before the deadline, Ms. Nguyen Thi V. born in 1992 in Thanh Ha district, Hai Duong province used the Facebook account "Nguyen V." to comment on an article on the Facebook Fanpage named "Social Insurance" and was instructed to directly contact the application-receiving agent named "Nhan Thanh". After contacting through messenger with Nhan Thanh, Ms. V. was consulted and guided: no fee, just need to make a dossier to withdraw benefits and pay the amount of 1,000,000 VND / 01 dossier. On February 10, Ms. V asked Nhan Thanh to make 02 sets of dossiers to withdraw benefits for her and her husband, Mr. Nguyen Van T. with the total amount of money received by the couple would be 202 million VND. After that, according to Nhan Thanh's instructions, Ms. V. transferred the total amount of over 109 million VND to account number 1021007230, the account holder's name is LE NAM, belonging to SHB bank. As a result, Ms. V. still could not withdraw the benefits nor contact Nhan Thanh, so she reported the case to the police.

This is not the first time that Facebook Fanpages impersonate social insurance agencies or social insurance agency officials to defraud and appropriate people's property. Previously, in some localities such as Ho Chi Minh City, An Giang province, etc., there have also been cases of fraud on dossiers for social insurance benefits to appropriate property similar to the above case. Specifically, these scammers ask employees to provide the social insurance payment process on the "VssID - Digital Social Insurance" application to calculate the amount of unemployment benefits. After that, the subjects will help the employee to conduct the disbursement procedure in 2 days and take a service fee of 5% of the total amount received by the employee, this amount must be paid in advance. However, after transferring money, the employee did not receive any allowance and was deprived of the 5% service amount paid in advance to the subject.
