Safety and scams to avoid

• Gem Investment Scam

  Near Duong Dong Market

  Friendly locals invite you to their "gem wholesale shop" claiming you can buy gems to resell at a profit at home. Gems are fake and worthless.

  How to avoid it: Never trust a stranger who approaches you with a business opportunity. All "gem investment" pitches in Vietnam are scams.

• Seafood Weight Overcharging

  Duong Dong Night Market

  Live seafood is priced by weight; the vendor places a finger on the scale or uses uncalibrated weights, charging 2–3× the actual weight.

  How to avoid it: Watch the weighing process carefully. Ask the price per kg before ordering. Use restaurants with set menus or confirmed per-item pricing.
