Currently, such fraudulent schemes are on the rise. One common tactic involves using business bank accounts to create the appearance of legitimate organizations. Taking advantage of victims’ trust and lack of caution, the perpetrators typically carry out their scams through the following steps:

Step 1: Establishing fake business 

Scammers register company names or website domains that closely resemble reputable organizations to mislead potential victims.

Step 2: Creating a pretense and contacting victims

They open business bank accounts and build fake online profiles to appear credible, enabling them to approach victims more easily.

Step 3: Executing the scam

Victims are asked to transfer money to these accounts for payments or to invest in fictitious projects promising high returns. Once the funds are received, the scammers immediately cut contact or close the account to avoid detection.

To further protect your personal information and assets, Techcombank advises customers to take the following precautionary actions:

Do

Always maintain a high level of vigilance against any requests for money transfers or bill payments made via phone calls, emails, or social media.

Carefully verify the business’ information before making any transactions (such as tax code, registered business address, or phone number). Ensure the information is confirmed through official channels or reputable websites.
Report immediately if you detect suspicious activity or become a victim. You can report to your local police authority or submit an online report through the Ministry of Public Security’s Cybercrime Reporting Portal: https://bocongan.gov.vn/

Don't

Do not transfer money if you notice any suspicious signs related to business accounts, especially if the source is unclear or unverified.

Do not share personal information on social media, to avoid scammers exploiting your circumstances for fraudulent purposes.

 

 

Do not spread unverified information, to prevent unintentionally supporting or amplifying fraudulent activities.

 

 

 

We respectfully urge our valued customers to be vigilant to protect your personal information and assets.
