Vietnam Electricity (EVN) confirms that the Fanpage named "EVN Online Running Race - Earth Hour 2025" (as shown in the image below) is illegally using EVN's brand. Citizens should be cautious about the information posted on this social media page to avoid being exploited.

This is fake Fanpage impersonating Vietnam Electricity

The fake EVN Fanpage has already gained nearly 1,000 followers. A review of its "Page Transparency" section reveals that this Fanpage has changed its name twice in 2024:

First, to "National Children's MC Contest"

Then, to "KIDS RUN 2024"

Most recently, to "EVN Online Running Race - Earth Hour 2025"

Recently, this page has been posting about a "special offer – receive smart chip-embedded running shoes," claiming they will be "delivered to registered addresses" to encourage participation in the so-called "running race."

Vietnam Electricity once again affirms that this social media page is illegally using the EVN brand.

EVN advises citizens and customers to remain vigilant against such fake information, preventing fraudsters from stealing personal data, exploiting users, and harming customers while damaging EVN’s reputation.

The official Facebook Fanpage of Vietnam Electricity is named "Điện lực Việt Nam," verified with a blue checkmark, boasting over 78,000 likes and more than 107,000 followers.
