n the context of rapid digital transformation and
the widespread use of the internet and social
media platforms, cyber-enabled fraud has
become increasingly prevalent and
sophisticated, particularly among university
students. This study examines the current
situation of high-tech fraud targeting students at
Binh Duong University through survey data and
qualitative analysis. The findings reveal that
approximately 90% of students frequently use
smartphones and social media platforms such as
Facebook, TikTok, and Zalo, making them highly
vulnerable to online scams. Notably, 70% of
respondents reported having been victims of
online fraud, with common forms including online
job scams, impersonation of authorities or
financial institutions, and fraudulent investment
schemes involving cryptocurrencies. Based on
these findings, the study proposes
comprehensive preventive measures, including
enhancing digital literacy, strengthening legal
education, promoting awareness campaigns
within universities, and improving coordination
between educational institutions and state
authorities.
