Cảnh Báo Lừa Đảo: A Critical Review of Vietnam’s Deceptive Advertising Culture
In recent years, Vietnam has experienced rapid economic growth and urbanization, accompanied by an increasing demand for consumer goods and services. The advertising industry has grown exponentially, with companies employing various tactics to grab the attention of potential customers. However, a significant number of advertisements in Vietnam have been found to be deceptive, misrepresenting facts, and taking advantage of unsuspecting consumers.
Cảnh Báo Lừa Đảo, or Warning of Deception, is a Vietnamese-language publication that has been dedicated to exposing and reviewing deceptive advertisements in the country. In this review, we will examine the scope and impact of Cảnh Báo Lừa Đảo’s efforts and assess its effectiveness in combating the problem of deceptive advertising in Vietnam.
According to Cảnh Báo Lừa Đảo’s statistics, approximately 70% of advertisements in Vietnam contain false or misleading information.

The publication’s online platform and social media channels allow for widespread dissemination of their findings, reaching a large audience of consumers and stakeholders.
The impact of Cảnh Báo Lừa Đảo’s efforts has been significant. In several cases, the publication’s exposure of deceptive advertisements has led to the removal of offending ads and the prosecution of companies engaging in fraudulent practices. Additionally, the publication has raised awareness among consumers about the importance of being cautious when responding to advertisements and has encouraged the development of more responsible advertising practices.
