Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology issues warning about impersonation fraud

(NLDO) - Fraudsters continue to impersonate the University of Technology (VNU-HCM) to send scholarship announcements to candidates.

In the announcement dated August 4, 2025, impersonators of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology informed candidates (who have not yet passed the university entrance exam) about "Winning the Vietnam Young Generation Scholarship and University of Technology Sydney".

This fake announcement clearly states the name of the scholarship winner for first-year students of the joint program "Talented Students" between Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology - VNU-HCM and University of Technology Sydney...

Polytechnic University confirmed that this is not the school's announcement.

Speaking with a reporter from the Lao Dong Newspaper , Associate Professor Dr. Bui Mai Huong, Head of Brand Management Department - University of Technology, confirmed that the school had received information about the scholarship announcement, but this was an announcement impersonating the school.

"Candidates born in 2007 still don't know whether they passed the university entrance exam or not, so where can they get information about winning scholarships?" - Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Mai Huong said.

The representative of the Polytechnic University also added that the recent announcements impersonating the school are not rare. The school has also issued warnings to candidates, students, and parents to take precautions. When receiving similar information, candidates, students, and parents should contact the school to get official information and avoid being deceived.

Two months ago, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology also issued a warning about fake scholarship applications and required payment of review fees under the International Engineering Bachelor Joint Program.

According to Huong, all registration and scholarship review processes for students of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology are carried out on a strict system, via email and the school's official electronic information channels.
