Warning of fake Viettel Pay to defraud and appropriate property

Through the work of grasping the situation, the functional forces of Hanoi City Police discovered a fake website of ViettelPay - Mobile payment application of Viettel Military Industry-Telecoms Group.

With the trick of offering to help people in difficult circumstances, people only need to access the fake link Viettelpay.jweb.vn to receive donations.

When accessing the fake link, the system will display information about ViettelPay and ask to fill in information such as: phone number, password, bank, OTP code to confirm the account to receive money...

This website has a name quite similar to the official website of ViettelPay application, so people will easily mistake this for the official website and log in to their account. Once they have the information, the subjects will control the customer's account and perform actions such as: transferring money, withdrawing money, registering for online loans...

Hanoi City Police advise people to be vigilant against the above tricks.

When receiving suspicious and unclear information, people can call directly to the customer care hotline of companies and businesses to check the information. Report fake websites to the authorities for timely handling.

People also need to regularly change their Internet banking and Smartbanking account login passwords and take measures to manage the security of this information.

Previously, Viettel cooperated with Facebook to remove all 186 fanpages considered to be impersonating the Viettel brand on Facebook.

These pages are not managed by Viettel but use the Viettel brand name inappropriately, causing users to misunderstand that these pages represent agencies, units, branches... under Viettel.

In addition, some devices found to be providing false and fake information about Viettel's packages to illegally profit from consumers are also on the list of devices to be removed./.
