Bach Mai Hospital said that recently, there have been cases of bad guys taking advantage of patients' trust to defraud and appropriate property.
According to a woman in Hanoi who wanted to see a doctor for her child, she went online to search for information "Sking for a visit to Bach Mai Hospital" and was taken advantage of by scammers, who took nearly a million VND to call and schedule.
During the online search by phone, if you see an advertisement about booking a medical examination appointment, you will see the website: https://timkiemtrogiup.com/. After that, the customer asked to go to the search box to " book a visit to Bach Mai Hospital" and the hotline number appeared and called.
When talking to the "general," suggesting the need to schedule a check-up for her child at Bach Mai Hospital, he was instructed that a staff member of Zalo would send a confirmation message. Next, customers receive a QR code of the account number requesting a transfer of 600,000 VND for the appointment.
The next morning, when he went to Bach Mai Hospital to see his child for a check-up as scheduled, the customer was shocked because his name was not in the system. Returning to Zalo messages, seeing that the content had been revoked and unable to contact the staff to confirm the booking. At this time, customers understand that they have been scammed.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to being scammed out of money to book an appointment for 600,000 VND, the call fee that customers have to pay is also quite high, 8,000 VND/minute.
Currently, due to the high demand for medical examination and treatment at hospitals and frontline medical facilities, combined with the mentality of people always wanting to have "private benefits", this is sometimes a loophole for scammers to take advantage of and deceive.
Bach Mai Hospital warns people to stay alert while searching for information, booking appointments and going to the doctor to avoid being scammed. You should search for official information pages of hospitals and medical facilities to contact and find out the information carefully before booking a date.
