Because she believed the bad guys, Ms. B. (born in 1992, residing in Hoai Duc, Hanoi) lost 240 million VND due to installing a fake app from the General Department of Taxation.
On August 12, information from Hanoi City Police said that recently, many people have appeared impersonating tax officials and asking people to install fake software to steal personal information and bank account information with the purpose of appropriating property.
Recently, a woman in Hoai Duc district lost 240 million VND because she fell into this trap.
Police said that on June 30, 2023, Ms. B. (born in 1992, residing in Hoai Duc, Hanoi) received a call from a subject pretending to be a tax officer.
This person sent a link and instructed Ms. B. to access and install the software "General Department of Taxation" to pay taxes and reduce VAT from 10% to 8%.

After installing the software, Ms. B. discovered that more than 240 million VND had been lost from her bank account. At this point, she realized she had been scammed and went to the police to report it.
Faced with the above situation, Hanoi City Police recommends that people do not download or install tax authority applications through unofficial links or instructions not provided by the General Department of Taxation.
If users install this fake software, they risk having their entire phone taken over. Messages and calls to the victim's phone will be controlled by the application, secretly transferred to a server managed by the bad guys and not displayed on the victim's phone.
More dangerously, these people remotely take control of mobile phones to: compose and send SMS messages; unlock mobile devices; turn on and off the Internet, access wifi; read and write contacts; read and write call history, make calls, perform account password recovery, register for Internet Banking and Smart Banking services, change account transaction limits, then access the victim's account and transfer money.
According to Hanoi City Police, in case of receiving messages and calls with signs of fraud, people need to promptly report to the police to prevent and handle the situation.
