Korean Embassy Warns Travelers of COVID Testing Fraud in Vietnam
This is all the more reason why all the COVID testing at the airports should be stopped, to prevent testing fraud:
The Korean Embassy in Vietnam has stepped up efforts to prevent a coronavirus testing-related scam, with such fraud cases on the rise targeting Korean tourists in the Southeast Asian country when they return to Korea.

According to the embassy and the Korean foreign ministry, Wednesday, two embassy staffers visited the office of Vietjet Air in Hanoi two days earlier and took issue with the budget airline’s rejection of Korean travelers’ negative COVID-19 test results, which left them exposed to rapid antigen test fraud. Vietjet Air is a Vietnamese low-cost carrier (LCC), based in the capital city of Hanoi. (………)
The embassy’s complaints came as more Korean travelers in Vietnam have fallen victim to the rapid testing scam, sparking an outcry among them and raising the need for the Korean government to step in.
Until Sept. 2, all inbound travelers to Korea had to hand in negative PCR test results conducted within 48 hours or from rapid antigen tests within 24 hours preceding their departure for the country, but this rule has been lifted amid the overall recent downward trend in the number of daily new cases. However, a mandate to take a PCR test within one day after arrival in Korea remains unchanged.
According to the embassy, Vietjet frequently rejected Korean passengers’ negative test results, even if they were valid, and on-site brokers received a premium to give them an emergency last-minute test.

Not sure why this surprises anyone … not sure why this is even news. Everything about the plandemic has been a fraud from the beginning:
Testing — The purported “gold” standard PCR was NEVER designed to be a diagnosis tool … and most everyone knows it … and yet here we are two years later and what are travelers required to get after landing at Incheon?
Masking — None of us came out of the womb wearing a mask, so draw your own conclusions.
Treatments — Effective ones intentionally suppressed. Dangerous ones made widely available to everyone.
The stupidity still amazes me: The people who test, wear a mask, and get boosters.
Maybe this is an over-the-top example, but it’s like watching a man repeatedly stabbing himself with a survival knife. He does know that’s going to eventually kill him, right?
Or … are we actually headed to that level of stupidity? … are we already there?
Mcgeehee, love the knife.
I believe that to be the American air force knife that js made in Canada.
Someone gave me one years ago and I just rediscovered it.
I oiled up the leather and cleaned up a little rust. It looks great.
I am not really a knife guy, but if I ever need to give the gift of cold steel in the liver to someone telling me what to do, this is my third choice.
Happens all over the world. This was a foregone conclusion, obvious easy cash cow for fraud.
Wait! This is unpossible! An airline scamming customers? Say it ain’t so!!
Oh. Yeah. Nevermind.
But back to knives, those cheap old orange “switchblades” aircrew were issued in the ’70s (and probable before and after) seem to be pretty darn rare and expensive these days.
