Rich Vietnamese Stars Targeted by Online Scammers!

Are the Vietnamese celebrities the new target of phishing scams?

Stylist Hoang Ku has just posted a warning post on his personal page, Duc Phuc and many artists revealed that they had received a similar scam email request.

On his personal page, stylist Hoang Ku posted a warning about many artists and KOLs receiving scam emails asking for money with the same content. He attached a screenshot of an emailed letter from a person claiming to be Tu from Gia Lai.

After telling the story of the family’s difficulties, the situation of being stolen in order to gain pity, the sender of the email directly asked for money from Hoang Ku and asked to send it through his account number. However, after researching, Hoang Ku learned that he was not the only character who received this email, but also Pho Dac Biet. Under the comment section, manager of Lam Bao Chau, MC Phi Linh also said that they had received a phishing email with similar content. Notably, manager Duc Phuc was the first to confirm that he was the victim, because he felt that this was also one of his fans, so he transferred the money to the above fake person.

Hoang Ku shared, “Artist scam alert. Honestly, when I receive messages like this, I am also heartbroken. But I think I often ask, so I checked a circle of friends and brothers and sisters and everyone said be careful of being cheated. Mr. Thien’s feedback was also emailed 3 times, and now it’s Pho’s turn. With the same message content, I think that helping someone should help the right person in the right place at the right time. If you help in the wrong situation, you are harming people. So in this case, I would like to refuse. Artist brothers and sisters, be careful too!”

Nowadays, fraudsters are using more and more sophisticated tricks, deceptions, and using the kindness of others for personal gain. Artists need to be very alert so as not to be taken advantage of by crooks similar to the above incident.
