Impersonators of the Vietnam Civil Aviation Authority to commit fraud and seize assets
Accordingly, the fraudsters collect customer flight information and then create fake Facebook accounts impersonating the Vietnam Civil Aviation Authority to call and message customers. They then announce that flights have been canceled and require citizens to access the fake website https://cuchangkhongvietnam.com/ to rebook tickets, aiming to collect personal data and commit fraud to seize assets.
The official website of the Vietnam Civil Aviation Authority is: https://caa.gov.vn/
In light of this situation, the Cybersecurity and High-Tech Crime Prevention Department of the Da Nang Police Department advises citizens to remain vigilant when using social media platforms. Citizens should adhere to the "3 NO" principles: Do not provide personal information, bank account details, or credit card numbers via phone, message, or email - Do not click on payment links from messages or emails of unknown origin - Do not download apps of unknown origin to avoid personal information theft. When making online bill payments, citizens should directly access the official website or application of the service provider.
