According to a warning from the Ministry of Public Security, recently, subjects have continuously changed tactics, exploiting the gullibility, lack of experience and desire to make money quickly of young people.
They stage many sophisticated scenarios, impersonate recruitment pages, advertise scholarships, deceive feelings, and promise easy jobs with high salaries.
Behind those attractive invitations is a link in the line of fraud, online gambling and money laundering.
The subjects seek to lure students to open or rent out bank accounts. These accounts are then used as "intermediary accounts" to receive and transfer illegal money.
Many students, due to lack of legal knowledge, believing in seductions or wanting to make money quickly, have unintentionally become tools for criminals.
Many cases have been exploited to carry out fraudulent transactions up to hundreds of millions, even billions of dong.
There are also cases where, because of greed for money, they actively participate in fraud groups.
Whether taken advantage of or proactively, "account leasing" is an act of assisting criminals and must face legal responsibility.
Many students have fallen into the trap, and the police agency has advised them to be absolutely vigilant against invitations on social networks such as: "light work with high salary", "receiving money for others", "renting bank accounts".
Do not participate in online recruitment groups that show signs of abnormality, especially those related to financial transactions.
However, effective prevention is not only the responsibility of functional forces. Schools and families are the closest "protection fence" for students.
Schools need to strengthen propaganda and disseminate laws on high-tech crimes, online fraud and money laundering to students.
In addition, it is necessary to include digital safety skills and online fraud identification skills in class activities.
In the digital age, schools must also maximize platforms to do communication, bringing warnings to students.
Preventing high-tech crime, cannot use manual tools.
Families also need to pay more attention to their children's cyberspace activities, preventing their children from participating in shady online job groups.
Seeing your child "working" online, lightly and with a high salary, you must be vigilant, beware that it is money related to fraud organizations.
To let their children act arbitrarily, to let greed for money overwhelm them, one day they will pay a heavy price.
Because, in the digital age, a careless click can become the link of a criminal ring.
