Parents fall for child modeling scams on social media
Nguyen Thanh Tam from the northern city of Hai Phong was browsing Facebook last month when she came across a post seeking child models to promote a "major fashion brand’s" spring 2023 collection. Her daughter, who is almost 4 four years old, loves having her photo taken. She often strikes poses when her mother brings out her camera phone. Meanwhile, the single mom is too busy with work and has little time to spend with her child. So, she’s been wanting to find an extracurricular activity for her child. After signing her daughter up for the modeling gig, Tam was added to a private chat group on the messaging app Telegram where a fake talent scout asked for the baby's age, height and weight. This person later instructed her to contact a male coworker in a different chat group who would help her complete her daughter's application. The admin of the second chat group said the models could make VND7-15 million ($298-640) a month if the outfits used by the child commercial photo … [Read more...] about Parents fall for child modeling scams on social media

Improving customer experience holds the key: The Coffee House CEO
Why did The Coffee House slow down in 2021-22? For businesses, the Covid pandemic was just like a storm for boats. To overcome a storm, in addition to considering external factors, it is also necessary to take into account the internals of the boat such as the steering, crew and equipment. Our customers have also changed. What we used to do to succeed does not necessarily mean it will work with customers now. I have been in charge of The Coffee House since November 2021. When I talked to my predecessors like Nguyen Hai Ninh and Vo Duy Phu, I was advised to find a new recipe to achieve the same good results for the business and provide satisfaction to customers.
