In Hai Duong, people were lured into gambling on the internet by being offered a 70% win rate in the beginning.
Last weekend, my Zalo account was suddenly added to a group called "Profitable Investment 5.0". Immediately after that, for some reason, an account named "Thu Thu" got my phone number and sent me a Zalo friend request.
In the Zalo group, there were continuous messages inviting me to access an address with the extension .vip, along with pictures of winning bets. Meanwhile, the Zalo account "Thu Thu" also actively sent messages advising and guiding me to access the above address and deposit money to gamble. I tried to access the above address and found that this was an online gambling den.
The trick of the gambling groups is to use technological devices, pre-set for new players to win at a rate of 70% in a short time to attract players. When the players win, they are attracted, the win-loss ratio is adjusted to take their money. The more they lose, the more angry the players become, pouring money into their accounts to recoup and continue to lose money.
Participating in gambling is a violation of the law. Along with losing money, players can be subject to administrative penalties and criminal prosecution.
