Lunar New Year Homecoming Goes Wrong: Scammers Caught at Airports! 🧧

 

CHÚC MỪNG NĂM MỚI!

Etymology 🧧: 

"Homecoming" from Old English "ham-cyme" - but for these scammers, their Tet homecoming led straight to jail!



The Great Tet Takedown 🎭

When Vietnam's biggest scammers thought they could sneak home for Tet, police had other plans! Here's how a $42M cross-border scam ring met its match at the airports.



The Three-Layer Scam 📱

  1. Cao 1: Fake police calls
  2. Cao 2: Malware installation
  3. Cao 3: Bank account draining

Operation Numbers 📊

  • 13,000 victims
  • 1,000B VND stolen
  • 12 provinces affected
  • 60 arrests at airports

Did You Know? 🤔

  • Most scammers are under 30
  • Scam calls peak during holidays
  • Cross-border scams increased 300% in 2024

Protect Yourself! 💡

  1. Never install apps from phone calls
  2. Government never requests remote access
  3. Verify caller identity independently
  4. Enable 2FA on all accounts

Nature's Lesson 🌿

Like migrating birds returning home for winter, criminals often return for important festivals - but unlike birds, they don't escape the law's net!

Quick Quiz 📝

  1. What's a key sign of a scam call? a) Urgent action required b) App installation request c) Government claims Answer: All of the above!
