The Ministry of Finance warns against fake websites.
According to the Ministry of Finance, since the first warning (June 2024), the Ministry has continuously received information about the forgery of documents, seals, and signatures of leaders, as well as the Ministry of Finance's website, to deceive people into transferring money.
The Ministry of Finance stated that, through fake websites, fraudsters are posting forged documents such as Authorization Confirmation Letters, Commitment Letters to Execute Authorization and Settlement of Payments, etc., to trick people into entering their personal information and then transferring money.
The Ministry of Finance advises citizens and businesses to be vigilant against impersonation and misuse of the Ministry's officials and employees, as well as the falsification of documents and papers to defraud people for personal gain. The Ministry of Finance urges citizens and businesses to be more cautious and vigilant when transferring money to strangers online. Upon detecting signs of fraud, citizens should report it to the nearest police station for investigation and prevention of the perpetrators' actions. Currently, the Ministry of Finance is coordinating with and requesting relevant agencies to clarify the acts of forging documents, signatures, and seals of the Ministry of Finance's leaders and the Ministry itself.
