ALERT H1N1 SCAM AT HCM AIRPORT TAN SON NHAT

[AlanYen 0]

I read from Song Moi (Vietnamese Magazine in San Jose, CA) on page 118 from Aug 15 to Aug 21, 2009...

In the article they stated that there have been Viet Kieu who is being targeted.

The scam would go like this...

As Viet Kieu get off the plane, security personal would take there passport away from them first then make them follow the personal...

They would say that you have H1N1 and they will take your temperature and state that it is high....

They will lead you away and put you into a taxi and that will cost you $25 dollar...

Then they will put you up in a container with no A/C and get a so call doctor to check you out...

They then will leave you there until you come up with their demand for money @$600 dollar...

Once you come up with that then they will give you your passport back and off you go...

They are targeting Viet Kieu so far....

So if any one heard of this scam or any one come across with any info please fill us in...

It sound just like the Thailand Airport Security stating that people are stealing stuff and making them pay ransom to go home....

I hear it too from my parents. They read it somewhere on the Internet. I hope it's not true but only God knows what really happens in Vietnam!!!! I'll take it as a precaution anyway. Impossible things do happen in VN.

It seem every thing is quite, I came through yesterday 08.19.2009 and no scam for me... Got off the plane I didn't bother to make eye contact with any security personal.... Went straight to the Passport counter on the way pass through the scanner which indicate whether your body temper glow red or not... for the most part every one on our plan was in the blue or little... So I guess it is good
