Uncover scams related to Impersonation of Shinhan Finance through online job recruitment

Dear our Valued Customers,

In early October 2022, Shinhan Vietnam Finance Company Limited (Shinhan Finance) received many complaints regarding some individuals impersonating Shinhan Finance. These scammers released job postings to hire collaborators working from home with online businesses that are not related to Shinhan Finance's business, leaving many unexpected consequences for many people.

Specifically, scammers usually start reaching people by launching attractive advertisements on social media or sending messages, calling directly to invite people to join as a collaborator of Shinhan Finance. Scammers try to invite people to complete a mission on the company's system, on TikTok and then the collaborators will receive commissions or bonuses from that.

All the invitations triggers participants by some benefits such as easy earning, working from home, high commissions, same-day pay, etc. Next step, participants will be asked to watch TikTok videos by downloading an app or go to an intermediary website. Then, scammers offer some mission packages which have some levels such as gold, silver, bronze, diamond or vip 1, vip 2, vip 3, etc, corresponding to different prices from several hundred thousand to several million Vietnam Dong. The higher price, the more commission for participants to get.

After few working days, the system will let participants receive a small amount of money to build trust, if they want to keep withdrawing money, they must continue to buy more packages or refer new participants to receive commissions. After purchasing expensive packages (spending a large amount of money), scammers will immediately reinforce the participants' trust by returning the correct amount of commissions and sending some impersonating Shinhan Finance commitment documents which have incorrect information, signatures, logos, and fonts that lacks consistency.

After several successful transactions, the scammers will send messages "the system has problems" or "the reward has been paid but the participant's account information is incorrect" and ask for an advance of an amount called a "temporary deposit fee", or "single offset fee", etc, with a written commitment of the amount with forged seals and signatures, scammers also promises to preserve capital, or compensate 300% of the capital spent. At the same time, participants gradually became confused and tried to find information about Shinhan Finance and realized that they had been scammed. With the mentality of needing money right away, these people have been misappropriated by scammers up to hundreds of millions of Vietnam Dong.
