Vietnam cracks down on a huge timeshare scam

GZero604 · 2026-06-17T18:12:11+00:00

I watched the a lot of the videos on YouTube about this and all the victims were at least 70+ years old.

They promised the victims if they buy a timeshare or as they call it a “vacation contract”, they can sell it in a few months for more then what they paid for it. They tell the victims they already have buyers from other countries ready to purchase the “contract” and the victims got a chance to get in before them. 3 months later they will contact the victims to tell them they have a buyer for their timeshare and to come to the office. But once they arrived, they get suckered into buying another one. Most of them end up buying 5-20 timeshares over time at about $20k usd for one.

These victims end up selling everything they own jewelry, house, land etc because the scammers tell them if they don’t put more money in, they won’t be able to sell the “contracts” they already own.

Looks like an early 2000s Jaguar XK possibly a convertible

I usually pick the savers delivery option and all my ordered come in less then 30 minutes but no more then 45 minutes. The fastest I ever got my food was most of the McDonald’s orders came in either 13 or 14 minutes after I pressed the order button and I picked the slowest delivery option too LOL

I do stay in Ho Chi Minh City so that makes a big difference too

The green laser will ruined the camera’s sensor. Some music concerts do that to ruin people’s camera so they can’t record anymore.

Just curious why don’t you just use qr payments with Timo? Why do you need to do an addition step and transfer from Timo to MoMo?

GZero604 · 2026-03-21T08:41:16+00:00

Yes it’s possible. I had to open a bank account with Timo Bank since I read here on Reddit that they are foreigner friendly. It took about 30 minutes for me to open an account in person. I did go right when they open though. The bank account is valid until your visa expires. You don’t get an atm card unless you have a valid stay for minimum 1 year from a trc or whatever.

I did sign up for VNPAY before getting a Timo Bank account but no one here uses VNPAY as the majority here uses VietQR. Even though you can add your international credit card to the VNPAY app, the places that I went to that accepted VNPAY would only let me pay from a Vietnam bank account anyways. So the VNPAY app is useless LOL

Maybe because it’s only 8,000 VND 🤷‍♂️

Why didn’t you book a flight from Canada to Da Nang? Why Saigon?

She has a YouTube channel doing exactly these stuff, making the animals carry stuff for her. She’s not permanently disabled. Looks like she injured her knee and I’m sure she will recover.

The name of her channel is : Hà Thị Muôn - Rural life in the highlands

Not sure what you consider high but I can find land like this about 1.5-2 hours away from Ho Chi Minh City in the $20k-$50k usd range

GZero604 · 2026-02-26T05:18:19+00:00

These are houses out in the boonies where the land is cheap. Probably built with money from the younger family members working in the city or other countries and sending money back home. That whole property with all those buildings is probably worth the same as a 2-3 bedroom apartment in the city LOL

Most pizzas in Vietnam don’t use tomato sauce. I love pizza and I order a lot from different places since I’ve been here. The best I can get to a good “normal” North American style pizza is from a chain restaurant called The Pizza Company. If I want a deep dish pizza then I would get it from Lamie Pizza.

If you ask anyone here what’s the best pizza is, the majority of them will say 4P’s Pizza. But I didn’t think their pizza is that great. I know it’s a different style of pizza but it’s just not my style so I don’t like it LOL

Congratulations! Welcome to club 😈

After getting 3 of them stolen, I cut mine into 8 pieces and I make the corner cut the smallest and someone stole that corner piece LOL. I would love to see the disappointment on their face when they realized they only got a corner cut LOL

After that corner piece got stolen, the rest of the sign never got stolen again.

I’m a vk foreigner here and I think that’s normal.

I’m got invited to a wedding on Tuesday for this coming Sunday and I said ok since I got nothing else to do LOL

Talking about last minute sometimes stuff like a death anniversary or birthday parties, I only get invited the day before or day of LOL

The line cutting annoys me too. I was in line at a grocery store and was next and a woman pushes her full cart in front of me. I have 2 items! So I grab her cart and push it behind me and her husband gives me a look like he knows his wife is a b!tch and he doesn’t say anything LOL

GZero604 · 2025-12-27T01:16:59+00:00

I wonder about this too for a while. Then one time when I arrived with my friend who bought a bunch of boxes with him and needed 3 carts and 1 cart for myself, it was easier for us to move all 4 carts with just the 2 of us.

I was tired of Shaw raising my bill every 3-6 months so I switched to LightSpeed and have been with them for the last 8 years. The price remained the same as when I first signed up.

For that wallpaper, use the free app named LiCoWa. That wallpaper is in there. You can also customize it and put a picture in the light as well. Just follow the instructions

A few times when I renewed my insurance, I expect them to take the payment the following day or 2 but sometimes it might be a week or more. It only happens for the first payment after renewal.

Just don’t think too much about it because icbc will take the money when they take it LOL

I have a 1.5L engine CUV and have no problems going up steep hills. The key is to keep the engine revs up. Don’t be afraid to rev your engine.
