Nguyên văn như sau, nếu bác nào muốn đọc:
Background:
- Mình có một startup về fintech nhỏ nhỏ ở Việt Nam, dạo gần đây cũng mới nổi nổi hơn tí
Hình thức Scam:
- Có 1 email gửi cho mình, tên là Florina Davis ([email protected]) nói mình được đề cử vào "10 Most Visionary Entrepreneurs from Vietnam Driving Success in 2024" - hay dịch ra là "Top 10 Doanh nhân Việt Nam 2024"
bởi báo APAC Entrepreneur (You are being redirected... (https://apacentrepreneur.com)), với mức phí là 2500$ (nominal fee) - Nhận xét là đám này scam khá chuyên nghiệp: Tên miền, tên email đầy đủ, linkedin 2K người theo dõi, 50 nhân viên (toàn Ấn Độ), website đầy đủ (tuy khá xấu, như năm 2000), đặc biệt là content email RẤT CHUYÊN NGHIỆP (khá giống mấy báo legit khác gửi cho mình, 1 số đoạn hơi giống AI)
- Trò này mình thấy rất dễ lừa, và mình đoán là đã lừa được kha khá đứa châu Á, do:
- Châu Á thích phông bạt, không chỉ ở VN mà còn ở Sing & Indo, dễ thấy nhất là cái 30 Under 30
- Chúng nó chọn scam đúng thời điểm (bên mình vừa được lên vào báo lớn này kia), và mình cũng được nhận vài cái email tương tự (nhưng từ báo chính thống)
- Số tiền nó lừa thấp (2500$), so với các trang chính thống khác như Tech in Asia hay Techcrunch
- Ví dụ danh sách dài những công ty đã bị nó lừa (Are APAC Business Times Scammers? (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/apac-business-times-scammers-se-asia-consulting-pte-ltd-vjq1c)), (https://medium.com/@francesconley0897/the-technology-headlines-scam-2873466ee3a0) => Đổi tên là APAC Business Review, The Technology Headlines, etc, điểm chung là 2500$, công ty xuyên suốt Á Âu đã nôn tiền

Vietnam Entrepreneurs Embody a Different Personality
It's fair to say that Vietnam is poised to grow into a SE Asian Startup powerhouse. Over the past several decades, Vietnam has moved from being an agrarian to a more industrial market-based economy. Even despite the challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, Vietnam has continued to progress owing to its impressive ability to overcome adversity and to quickly pivot according to the demands of the industry.
Unlike other entrepreneurs in the APAC region, Vietnam entrepreneurs are impelled to bring about changes due to the challenges they have been facing as a nation in the past. Regarded as a lower-middle income country, Vietnam is redefining its economy and how others perceive themselves by engaging in eclectic business endeavors that drive the economy forward.
Today, Vietnam entrepreneurs have become the epitome of perseverance, courage, and determination. Their unwavering commitment to business and the economy is shining through the initiatives they take for the growth of their respective industries at large.
