According to the Vung Tau Ward Public Service Center, in the past time, common tricks of thieves often focus on tricks such as: impersonating fan pages of accommodation establishments attracting customers, cheap tour units and then requesting deposit transfers when customers contact; sending fake links requesting login to bank accounts, social networks... ; impersonating tourism support staff, train, car, airline companies contacting customers...
