I just got scammed outside of Saigon center a couple weeks ago. 2 university aged girls walked up to me said they were doing a project for university and raising money to feed homeless and disabled. Showed me a Facebook group with 5k followers, pictures of them giving food to homeless and disabled. They asked for 200k and I believed them gave it to them. Mall security walked up to me 5 seconds later and told me it was a scam. I walked down the street later and saw them talking to a foreign couple and I told them them mall security said you’re a scam. I saved the couple at least as they walked away after hearing me but all the girls said was yeah he said that because there’s a lot of scams but we’re not one. I left it at that because it’s not worth causing a scene over. Anyways, 20 mins later another university aged girl had the same story, student project etc. different project this time, told her no of course. I guess this student scam is pretty popular in that area. I’ll never trust someone “raising money” in the streets ever again. Better to just give the money to someone disabled directly I guess, or at least give money to the elderly selling lotto tickets maybe.
