Chuyện của Nguyệt

Leaving the office after 8 PM, I saw a stranger person running in a hurry to our office looking for something with hope.

“I lost 20 mil and now I don’t know how to take it back” – Then he asked me for some information about another stranger whether she is our employee or not.

After a short talk, I was really surprised when he shared that he is an Auditor but still be entangled in the scam. He said he was really cautious but just because of having some difficulties in personal finance & he did earn real money from the first steps when involved in doing ‘the job’ offered by the scammers, he put the belief on them.

To be honest, I have witnessed many cases like that coming to our company, even cases lost up to bil VND. The only solution that I – as a normal employee can help was to confirm with them that they were scammed and should go to the Competent Authorities to report their case.

As my observation, the trick used in those cases, mostly are:

1. The scammers fake a company/ organization to recruit collaborators (CTV) to do super-duper basic tasks & easy to earn, such as: purchasing a real order and then receiving higher money back compared to the order that was made. The pain point is the scammer really ‘invests’ in this by creating a fake website, landing page, email, ERC, etc.
2. They fake the company employees by copying their profile information on social media to build trust for recruitment, especially on Facebook, and Messenger. So, please be cautious with what you share on social media publicly.
3. The scammers really reward money for those who received the job from 1-3 first times, then increase the value of the tasks. After that, they didn’t send back the money to people and disappeared. For example, they required you to order a bag on fake-TIKI with a value of 350k VND, then they will send you back 400k VND when the task is completed, then they will increase the value of the order up to 1mil VND, 10mil VND, and even higher, etc.
4. They aim at the psychology of people, especially those who are in difficulties and need money urgently. Besides, they also focus on human greed: “The more you invest, the more money you will get”.

Not only my company – TIKI but other E-commerce & famous company with good brands are also faked outside for illegitimate purposes which causes trouble, especially money loss for many people. I hope that each employee of each company & each person should first share with their family, relatives, and friends about this problem so that they will be cautious and not be led by scammers.

Besides, since this is a problem that affects directly the credibility of the company, hope each company will have suitable actions, and cooperate with the Competent Authorities to have the right solutions for a better society.

TIKI did have some points to alert about this problem, please take a look for further information: https://lnkd.in/gY7_9Bh2
