According to Lao Dong reporters on Tran Nhan Tong street, the gold buying and selling atmosphere is quite vibrant. People lined up in front of large gold and silver stores such as Bao Tin Minh Chau, DOJI... waiting for their turn to trade.
Many people said that despite concerns about high gold prices, they still decided to buy in small quantities to save capital and prevent inflation risks.
Mr. Minh Hien (Hai Ba Trung ward, Hanoi) shared: "I am quite worried about the rising gold price. But for the common mentality, I still try to have one or two points".
Mr. Vu Hong Son (Thanh Tri commune, Hanoi) said that he had been lining up for nearly 20 minutes and the main purpose was to buy it for long-term storage.
According to Mr. Son, buying gold at this time is to accumulate assets for the future, absolutely not for speculative purposes, waiting for prices to increase to sell for profit.
The large purchasing power has forced some stores to hang "Temporarily out of stock" signs for some gold bar products.
Taking advantage of the fact that many people do not have time or are afraid to queue, social networking sites impersonate reputable gold brands that have appeared to set traps.
Mr. Vu Ngoc Ha (Hong Ha ward, Hanoi) because he could not buy directly, researched online gold buying and found a Facebook page impersonating "Bao Tin Minh Chau" with a large number of followers. When he texted to order 3 taels of plain round rings, this page asked him to transfer 100% of the order value before delivering.
Realizing that the payment method had unusual signs when he was asked to transfer 100% of the value in advance instead of paying when receiving the goods, Mr. Ha went directly to the store to verify. Here, the employee confirmed that it was a fake sales site and the company did not have the above business form.
Right after Mr. Ha arrived at the store, the scam Facebook page also disappeared, unable to access it anymore.
