A number of mobile applications are currently luring users with the promise of substantial financial rewards. These apps claim that individuals can earn millions of Vietnamese dong simply by watching short films generated by artificial intelligence. However, this enticing offer conceals a sophisticated scam. Rather than delivering on the promise of payment, these applications are designed to exploit users. Users are typically trapped into viewing numerous advertisements, compelled to download unnecessary 'junk' applications, and, more critically, face the risk of installing malicious software onto their devices. The primary objective of these deceptive apps is to profit through ad revenue and malware distribution, leveraging user time and device resources, rather than genuinely compensating them for their engagement.

Key points
* Apps promise millions for watching AI short films.
* Users are forced to watch ads and download junk apps.
* Risk of malware installation on devices.
