Talking to Lao Dong, Mr. Ngo Minh Hieu - Director of the Anti-Fraud Project said: "Currently, many people accidentally publicize personal information, images of their children, schools... on social networks without security measures. These data can be taken advantage of by scammers to impersonate authorities, or impersonate international schools to defraud scholarships and admissions. The most common form is impersonating police, sending fake wanted warrants to threaten and appropriate property".
