Tram Ho

This market operates blatantly, openly and chaotically. There’s even a deceptive variant…

“It’s easy to have money to buy and accumulate”

As a person who has been active in the field of communication for a long time, Mr. K. is quite famous in the world as well as on the social network Facebook.

But even though he has “applyed” for a seal to confirm the account owner on Facebook for two years, he has not been granted a “certificate” of a green check. However, just a week after asking for the service, Mr. K.’s Facebook account “got green”.

The place of acquaintances, so I only spent 15 million dong called tea and water for the staff. The time to do it was very fast, it only took two weeks ,” said Mr. K.

Similar to Mr. K., many other Facebook users also had to rely on third-party services to get certified green accounts.

As noted by Tuoi Tre, recently, accounts have been granted green status on the social network Facebook. Along with that, the services running up to the green mark are widely advertised by many individuals and businesses online.

Many units that introduce themselves as partners of Facebook commit to a successful submission rate of up to 95%. Service costs from 30 to 90 million VND depending on the status of the account. Many units also promise unsuccessfully to refund 100% of the cost with a lifetime warranty.

Thanh Binh, who has many years of experience in doing green work in Ho Chi Minh City, said that applying for a green certificate is relatively easy for people in the profession who are familiar with Facebook’s “procedures”.

Accordingly, depending on the actual parameters of the customer account such as: the number of followers, the amount of interaction, the level of popularity, the number of articles talking about them… that the service will have ways ” push” helps the account meet Facebook’s requirements.

The most expensive cost is buying articles about customers, about 6-12 articles. The rest is pushing parameters such as the number of followers, depending on the case, customers will have different prices.

The simplest are those who work in the field of art. They are inherently famous and are also talked about a lot by the press, so it is almost free to go green. The rest will cost from 20 to 200 million VND depending on the service , “Binh said.

The market is chaotic

Green ticks have long been a major concern of the Facebook user community in Vietnam. The 179 million “green ticks” search results on the Google tool are enough to show the “hot” of this little blue checkmark.

Therefore, nearly 105 million search results for “green service” are enough to show the excitement of this market in Vietnam.

However, according to D. – a representative of a group specializing in providing the famous Facebook green ticker service in Ho Chi Minh City, the competition and ease of making money has made the market increasingly chaotic, even appearing many tricks. cheat.

Many businesses provide the service of running green according to the tower model, which means that the revenue will be divided by rank. Specifically, below there will be a lot of individuals working as collaborators to gossip and advertise how to pull. applications for individuals and businesses are capable of running green. For each successful application, collaborators receive 5 – 10 million VND. Only those who do it behind will have great revenue , “D. said.

Also according to the “reveal” of D., with an average of three customers per week, ie 12 contracts per month for 100-200 million VND. “If the situation is favorable, after deducting costs, the profit will range from 600 to more than 1 billion dong”, D. revealed.

The “terrible” profit has made the market turn into a large number of service providers, but in reality it is just a “stork” to shout prices to make more profits.

In addition, ” the hidden corner in this array is that some units go up and sneak through the gaps of Facebook, so after a short time, they are scanned by Facebook and disappear. Users can only laugh because they have just laughed. lost the lump of money and lost the green tick,” D. said.

Get a green credit and then cheat

Recently, the Police Investigation Agency of Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City has issued a decision to prosecute the case and prosecute the accused Phan Van Tri (living in Binh Thanh District) for the act of ” using computer networks, telecommunications networks, electronic means commit acts of appropriation of property “.

Accordingly, when a customer orders a green check, Tri’s team requires the customer to provide information such as username, password, email address, photo of identification (ID card, CCCD, driver’s license. ..).

The subjects then texted friends in the victim’s Facebook contacts to borrow money.

The subjects even used technology to fake the image of the Facebook owner in calls with the victim, and at the same time opened a bank account with the same name as the Facebook account holder to build trust with the victim. victims and offer to transfer to these accounts, then appropriate assets.

Authorities said that 20 people have been identified as victims of Tri’s group and are continuing to expand the investigation of the case, consolidate documents and evidence, and handle them in accordance with the law.
