Warning of fake documents, fraud in studying in Japan

(Dan Tri) - This morning (December 16), FPT University issued a warning about a fake document announcing a Japanese Government scholarship program.

According to this announcement, based on the announcement of the Embassy of Japan in Hanoi about the Japanese Government granting short-term scholarships. Number of preliminary candidates: 120 including: postgraduate (80), university (30), college (5) and vocational high school (5).

Recruitment objects: Vietnamese citizens with good political and moral qualities; truly desire to study in Japan; have good health to study abroad; not currently serving disciplinary action or being considered for disciplinary action by competent authorities.

According to this announcement, the Japanese Government scholarship program covers 100% of round-trip international airfare, tuition, and expenses throughout the study period.

"To participate in the program, the school requires students to prove their financial ability, specifically needing 120 million VND in a bank account to get a statement to submit to the school," the announcement clearly stated.

According to Dr. Le Truong Tung, Chairman of the Board of Directors of FPT University, the above announcement is completely fake. The person who forged the document brought FPT University to the… Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.

Also according to Dr. Le Truong Tung, recently, there has been a lot of fraudulent information related to study abroad brokerage, recruitment, and enrollment associated with the names of the units.

For FPT educational institutions, candidates need to understand the principle: All official information must be published on the school's official information portals.

Regarding finance, FPT Edu strictly applies the no-cash policy. All payments, if any, are made through the school's account, not in the names of individuals or other entities.

Previously, many scammers created fake Facebook accounts impersonating international students or people working or settling abroad, made friends with their friends and relatives, then sent messages to trick them into transferring money from several million to several hundred million VND.

Some people do not have the function of consulting on studying abroad but still create fake websites and "ghost" companies and introduce them on social networks to scam money from many people.
