In recent days, on many social networking platforms, there have been posts spreading information that Thanh Tung - the son of the late artist Thuong Tin - is in a difficult situation and needs help from the community to bury his biological father. Many accounts also included calls for donations and money transfers to "support" Thanh Tung, attracting the attention and widely sharing of the public.
Before this information wave, at noon on December 18, Thanh Tung officially denied it, affirming that he did not accept any help or donation calls from the community. According to Thanh Tung, the content circulating on social networks is purely fabricated information, untrue, created for the purpose of attracting views, taking advantage of the trust and sympathy of the public.
The family representative said that Thanh Tung is still living and working normally and has not authorized any individual or organization to call for financial support under the name of him or the late artist Thuong Tin. Taking advantage of the name of a deceased person to call for money is offensive behavior, causing damage to the family and disrupting information in cyberspace.
Musician To Hieu - who had a period of association and support for the late artist Thuong Tin - also told reporters that he had warned the public about tricks to take advantage of personal circumstances for personal gain. He called on everyone to be extremely alert, not to transfer money to calls of unknown origin, and at the same time carefully verify information before sharing or donating.
According to the recommendation from the family, in case of mistakenly transferring money to fake donation calling accounts, people should quickly report to the police agency of the ward or commune where they live for guidance and support in handling according to the law. Timely reporting not only helps protect personal rights but also contributes to preventing fraud in the online environment.
The incident once again rang the alarm about the situation of fake news and false information appearing more and more on social networks, especially information related to the artist's private life. The family of the late artist Thuong Tin hopes that the public will receive information in a responsible way, avoiding spreading false content that affects the people involved.
Currently, Thanh Tung said that he hopes to soon stabilize his private life, and at the same time hopes that the public will respect the truth, avoid exploiting his private life and family name for unclean purposes.
