The frequency of fraudulent activities in cyberspace is on the rise due to the use of increasingly sophisticated methods. The General Department of Taxation has recently issued warnings regarding fraudulent schemes designed to obtain sensitive information. These schemes include the creation of counterfeit websites and fake messages bearing the name of the General Department of Taxation, as well as the circulation of deceptive links for installing applications that enable unauthorized control of mobile devices, etc.
The General Department of Taxation has issued a warning about a rise in fraudulent activities, where individuals pose as tax officials to deceive taxpayers. Despite the warnings, people continue to fall victim to these scams, especially during peak tax finalization months. Fraudsters are using various technological and technical methods to impersonate tax authorities and steal taxpayers' information and assets.
In addition, there are cases of businesses misusing personal information, such as name, tax code, and citizen identification number, to falsely report income and expenses. This misuse adversely affects individuals and causes frustration for taxpayers.
To address these fraudulent activities and raise awareness, The General Department of Taxation has cautioned taxpayers about these scams and recommended preventive measures. These measures include refraining from sharing personal or bank account information over the phone or social media, carefully verifying contact information before transferring money or providing information, and not allowing individuals to directly access computers or phones for tax software installation.
Moreover, taxpayers are advised against clicking on any suspicious links claiming to provide tax-related guidance, and to verify information related to the tax industry via the official electronic information portal with the national domain name "gdt.gov.vn".
Furthermore, individuals are encouraged to download the official tax application only from authorized sources such as Google Play or the Apple Store, and to avoid unofficial links or instructions for downloading or installing tax-related applications.
In addition, taxpayers should be aware that tax authorities do not make phone calls or use social networks to request software installation or support for tax-related procedures. The General Department of Taxation urges tax departments and branches to disseminate hotline numbers and support locations for taxpayers and provide timely guidance and assistance.
Lastly, The General Department of Taxation has emphasized that strict measures will be taken against businesses that misuse personal information for tax purposes without actually paying the income to individuals.
The General Department of Taxation requests that individuals who provide feedback about businesses taking advantage of information should proactively coordinate with tax authorities to transfer information for verification. This will support taxpayers and help avoid increasing administrative procedures. The tax authorities should continue to promote and support the use of the eTax Mobile application to help individuals look up, monitor, and check their tax obligations.
