Vietnamese consumers have been duped into buying mobile devices of famous brands at attractive prices by a telesales company, only to eventually have copycats or knockoffs delivered to their door.

Vietnam may allow importing waste for recycling
VietNamNet Bridge - The HCM City People's Committee now works with competent agencies on the initiative to allow the Vietnam Waste Solution (VWS) to import waste to be recycled at the company's $10 million factory.
