According to information from the Department of Information and Communications of Quang Ninh province on September 9, in recent days, taking advantage of the damage caused by storm No. 3 in Quang Ninh province, a fake fanpage of the Quang Ninh Red Cross Society has appeared on Facebook, fraudulently calling for donations and support for people affected by storm No. 3.

The scammers use images and information similar to official pages to call on kind-hearted people to donate and transfer money to personal accounts for appropriation.

The Department of Information and Communications of Quang Ninh province recommends that people be vigilant and not send donations and support for people affected by damage to accounts of unknown origin. It is necessary to carefully check information about accounts calling for donations, prioritizing official sources.
At the same time, social media users are urged to widely share this warning information so that people can raise their vigilance against scammers and report to authorities when they discover fanpages or personal accounts that show signs of fraud.
"Taking advantage of natural disasters and floods to commit fraud not only causes economic damage to people but also reduces the community's trust in legitimate charitable activities. Detecting and reporting fake and fraudulent pages is also a way to contribute to protecting the community" - the Department of Information and Communications emphasized.
