Recently, the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism sent a document to the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Department of Tourism of provinces and cities on preventing, stopping and handling fraudulent activities of appropriating assets on cyberspace in the tourism sector.

Tourism Department recommends

The document of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism clearly stated that recently, the situation of fraud and property appropriation in the tourism sector, especially online booking fraud, has been increasing. This has negatively affected the image of the tourism industry, causing public outrage.

The document also cites fraudulent forms such as creating fake websites and fanpages of reputable tourism service businesses with tricks of discounts, fake promotions and requests for deposits in advance…

To prevent, stop and handle fraudulent activities of appropriating assets using high technology in cyberspace, the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism has proposed many contents to localities in the tourism sector.

First of all, strengthen propaganda to businesses and people about new forms of fraud; advise people to carefully research information of tourism service providers and payment transactions.

Or you should only book services on official websites and fanpages in places provided by local tourism management agencies…

“Provide information on registered tourism service businesses in the area so that people and tourists can know and book services.

At the same time, coordinate to fully update information on local tourism service providers to the database system of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism for widespread and official announcement nationwide,” the document emphasized.

On February 20, the Internal Political Security Department of Da Nang Police summoned Ms. HKL (21 years old, residing in Lien Chieu District, Da Nang) to announce the decision to impose an administrative penalty for the act of providing false information .

HKL is the girl who posted false information “hitchhiking was drugged” late last night.

Previously, on February 17, on his personal Facebook page, HKL posted an article titled “Warning corner: tonight, I was drugged terribly on Vo Van Kiet Street, Da Nang”.

Along with the title, the article also describes the events that took place according to the subjective feelings of the individual, and at the same time contains many arguments and inferences that cause confusion in public opinion.

The post quickly attracted more than 11,000 likes, 10,000 comments and 28,000 shares.

After receiving the information, Da Nang Police units stepped in to clarify the matter. In a short time, the police worked with the young man mentioned in the false story that HKL wrote on his personal Facebook. Thereby, it was determined that the story of “being drugged” as HKL posted was completely false.

Based on the records, documents and evidence collected, the police determined that HKL’s actions violated Decree 15 of the Government on regulations on administrative sanctions for violations in the fields of post, telecommunications, radio frequencies, information technology and electronic transactions.

The authorities decided to fine HKL 7.5 million VND for administrative violations.

Cryptocurrency has long been a global phenomenon, changing the way people look at finance, investing, and economic value.

On February 20, when Pi Network officially entered the Open Network phase of Mainnet , the user community once again sparked heated debates about the potential of Pi as well as the role of cryptocurrency in the future.

So, what perspective is reasonable when assessing the confidence and prospects of Pi Network in particular and cryptocurrencies in general?

Pi Network: Trust from simplicity and accessibility

What makes Pi Network attractive is its simplicity and popularity. Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, which require powerful hardware and consume a lot of energy, Pi Network allows users to “mine” Pi coins simply by checking in daily on the mobile app.

With over 60 million users globally and 12 million people having completed KYC by mid-2024, Pi Network has built a large community, especially in countries like Vietnam, Korea, and China.

This ease has fueled the belief that cryptocurrencies are no longer a “playground” reserved for the tech world, but can become a financial tool for everyone.

With cryptocurrencies in general, the future remains a big question mark

Blockchain technology is increasingly being applied in many areas, from finance to supply chains, but global acceptance depends on regulation and public trust.

In Vietnam, where cryptocurrency is not yet legally recognized, participating in Pi Network or any other project requires sobriety and understanding to avoid legal and financial risks.

Pi Network and cryptocurrencies are two sides of a larger trend: the shift to a digital economy . The belief in Pi Network comes from its accessibility and ambitious vision, while the potential of cryptocurrencies lies in their ability to change the way we transact and store value.

However, there needs to be a balance between hope and reality.

For participants, instead of blindly betting on the dream of “changing your life”, consider this as an opportunity to learn about blockchain and new financial markets . In the world of cryptocurrencies, knowledge and caution are always the key to turning trust into real value.

Next is the acumen. For some savvy and acumen investors, the optimistic psychological FOMO is a life-changing opportunity and also a lucrative bait for them.

They can surf Pi through exchanges or buy black market OTC to make a profit on the difference.

However, buying OTC at a reasonable price must be based on general knowledge of finance, crypto, knowing how to consider the potential of the community, considering the total supply of the project, the potential of listing prices, applying technology and utilities to the coin to be able to make a reasonable buying and selling decision, not simply “strong belief to change your life”.

Regarding the recent rescue of 49 people, including 11 Vietnamese, by Mexican police who were kidnapped in Chihuahua state, near the US border, on February 20, the Vietnamese Embassy in Mexico contacted local authorities and learned that these 11 Vietnamese citizens are currently staying at the immigration station in Villahermosa city, Tabasco state (nearly 800km from the Mexican capital).

Immediately after receiving the information, the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs directed the Vietnamese Embassy in Mexico to visit and provide appropriate support to the citizens. Currently, the health of the Vietnamese citizens is stable.

The Vietnamese Embassy in Mexico is continuing to work closely with local authorities to closely monitor the situation and be ready to take necessary citizen protection measures.

As reported by Tuoi Tre Online , previously police in Juarez city, Mexico announced that they had rescued 49 migrants, including 11 Vietnamese, who were kidnapped and held for ransom while trying to cross the border into the US.

Police also arrested three men accused of holding 49 migrants against their will in a house in the Colonia Hidalgo area, threatening them with an M-1 Carbine rifle.

“Migrants are kidnapped as soon as they reach the border and contact someone who can help them cross into the United States. Once detained, these groups demand more money from them,” said Luis Aguirre, chief of the Chihuahua State Police Office.

The accused kidnappers were taken by police to Cereso Prison No. 3 on February 16.
