Keep the conversation on-platform, video call before meeting, and never send funds to someone you have not met.

Is online dating actually free in Ho Chi Minh City?

Yes, in the sense that you can create a profile, browse and in most cases send messages without paying. The limits you will hit in Ho Chi Minh City are on volume and visibility rather than on access.
