The Vietnamese pig farming industry is supported by a large, steady demand base, but it remains highly volatile due to price cycles and disease risks. As smallholder farming shrinks and large enterprises play a bigger role, companies with stronger control over the value chain are better positioned to manage costs…
On April 6, the Ho Chi Minh City Police said they had just issued a warning to residents about three common scams currently circulating, despite prior warnings some people still fall for them. According to the Ho Chi Minh City Police, in the context of rising high-tech crime with increasingly sophisticated methods, people should be especially vigilant against common online scams. Perpetrators often exploit gullibility and lack of verification to approach and seize assets. There are three prominent fraud forms that residents should note. 1) The 'easy work, high pay' scam: The perpetrators post online recruitment for collaborators to work remotely with attractive pay, while the work appears simple. However, after gaining trust, the gang will demand upfront payments for reasons such as “activating accounts” or “placing deposits for orders.” In reality, this is a scam to steal victims’ money. 2) Impersonation of authorities: The offenders pose as police, prosecutors, banks, etc., calling or texting about legal violations or unusual accounts to apply psychological pressure. Then the criminals require the victim to provide OTP codes, passwords, or to access fake links to “verify.” Once they have the information, they quickly take control of the account and withdraw money. 3) Romance scam combined with investment: The offenders groom victims via social media, build a long-term relationship, and gain trust. When the victim is momentarily careless, the gangs entice them to invest with high returns or to transfer money for various reasons, then seize the funds and cut off contact. In light of this situation, the Ho Chi Minh City Police advise residents to remember the principle of the “3 no’s”: Do not provide OTP codes, do not share passwords with anyone; do not click unfamiliar links with unclear origins; do not transfer money before clear verification. If any signs of suspicion appear, promptly report to the police or via apps such as VNeID or SOS to receive timely support. Maintaining heightened vigilance is the most effective way to protect yourself and loved ones from increasingly sophisticated fraud. By Phạm Dũng, Người Lao Động

Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
