Online fraud tricks are increasingly flourishing. In particular, crooks often target young people, students, women with young children who are in quarantine, or people with limited living capital and lack of understanding of the law.
On the Internet In society, there are many groups established by people who have fallen into the trap of “low-paying high-paying jobs”. The number of participating members reaches tens of thousands of people. Here, victims post posts calling for help in vain.
Tran T.’s account shared: “Everyone, please help me. Yesterday I was scammed by them. They said that you only need to do two tasks to receive gifts and commissions. At first they refunded money very quickly. But the second time they said they had to complete more advanced tasks so they could apply to receive gifts.”
This person also shared that he was also put in the VIP group to receive more money. Because of a moment of impatience, she borrowed money from an acquaintance and transferred 10 million VND to the subjects. Even though she transferred the money, she was accused of being “overdue” and had to pay 30 million VND.< /p>
According to the reporter’s research, more and more people are falling into the trap of accepting online tasks. Victim Vu Thi K.L (Hanoi) also shared about subjects offering to accept online tasks and then pay real money.
The first time K. L will be assigned the task of searching for channels ; Like random videos. After completing, L. took a photo and sent it back for confirmation. After this time, L. received an amount of 30 – 100 thousand VND.
L. then brought into a large group with the participation of many people. Here they began to require L. to invest capital for each task with different levels of capital. In just 2-3 minutes for the first task, L. earned 505,000 VND.
L. After that, I was almost psychologically manipulated into getting stuck in a vicious cycle of depositing money that was stuck. If I wanted to get it back, I had to spend more money. This amount of money was beyond L’s financial ability. In the end, she accepted to lose 10 million VND, of which 7 million VND was borrowed from relatives.
Because they wanted to get their money back, the victims were forced to deposit more money to receive the task but in the end realized it was a scam (Illustration: Hong Anh).
It can be seen that the subjects always apply the tactic “release an iron hunter to catch a perch”. After receiving the money, the victims were immediately “baited” and blinded by the profit. By the time I realized I was being scammed, I couldn’t get my money back.
