Is Telegram the social media platform to use for communicating with your friends and colleagues?

Telegram claimed to have good privacy and security features.

May be because of these good privacy and security features, you can notice there are a lot of scams group using this platform.

Below I am sharing some messages from Telegram when my friend tried to do a hookup and what was offered.

We found a lot of these types of posts in Telegram, after a while, the user would delete their accounts.

After a few days, they would create another new account with a new name

We tried a few, and managed some hookup to the stage of meeting up.

Usually the ladies will not tell you their address, they will give you an address near their houses and claimed once you reached there, message her and she will come to pick you to her place.

So we went to the agreed meeting place, instead of a lady, here came a man with tatoo, we told him we would not be going with him, luckily there were a few policemen nearby patrolling.

The next day, the user account of that Telegram account deleted her account.

If you look at the three messages below, they look similar and are from three different Telegram accounts.

All three messages indicated the same meeting place. thus this could be a syndicate operating to lure some hungry people to trap.

Message No. 1

Masturbating sex video call $50

Just video call $20

Nudes $30

sex service

1 hour $100 booking deposit $50

90 minutes $150 booking deposit $50

Booking fee by bank transfer

Booking fee is $50 by transfer

Every time when you create a group in Telegram, within minutes, you can see a lot of females join the group and offer their services.

As the Admin of the group, you have to spend times to remove all these names.

I just wonder why Telegram allow these types of people joining.

All Telegram did was when you complained, they would show a message this message could not be displayed as it contained pornography or something to that effect.

as a result of which, it make the group pages very messy and meaningless.

And this filtering only happen after you complained, if you did not complain, you could see all the pornography in the group page, openly canvassing for business.

Why is Telegram allowing this type of posting on its platform?

It seems that Telegram only take action when some one complained, if not they will allow the posting of pornography in their platform.

We can notice all these pornography messages have bad influence and scammers and people with bad intention are taking advantage of it.

Since the privacy and security setting in Telegram is so good, I think even Telegram do not know who are the people using their platform for crime, vice and illegal activities.

You may want to read more about it in the link below.

I am writing this based on what I come across in Singapore, a tiny city country and have a lot of scammers or whoever with ill intentions are using the platform.

The following news report in The Straits Times of Singapore gave some useful information about how the scam took place.

https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/more-than-50-people-duped-by-scammers-through-telegram-this-year

Are any Authorities taking measure to control the social media platform to ensure the platforms take responsibilities in what contents are posted via their platforms?

social media like Telegram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Signal and Wechat as well as Tik Tok, are they doing anything to prevent users post offending, malicious and pornographic contents.

Or they take the easy way claiming it is the freedom of expression and use of their media platforms?

Some may claim there is no way they can monitor all the contents since thousands users are posting every minute, and the monitoring is a voluminous job.

Since nowadays every one is using AI to do the work, surely the platform owners can do something to curb these types of contents appearing in their platforms.

Advancement of technology pose a serious threat to the security of ordinary people.

The security and privacy claimed by certain social media platforms actually work into the hand of criminals and scammers , who love this type of features.

Most of the users of Telegram do not use their real names in creating their accounts, and Telegram allow that.

Why don't Telegram insist of real person registration since they claim their platform has privacy and security?

Government is asking its citizen to be more vigilant in the use of social media, however if the authority is serious, they should stop all these malicious contents in the social media by making the platform owners be more responsible and make them accountable for all contents and any crimes committed.

Anyone who has been scammed using the platform, the platform owner should be charged for abetting for the crime.

Some useful prevention methods you may want to read.

Published on Leave a comment on Have You Been Scammed Lately?

I have been discussing this scam topic a few times.

It seems that the matter is getting worse as days go by.

Every day, there is a person falls to scammers' tricks and scam.

Despite all the alerts and measures, still there are people being scammed daily and losing their hard-earned money.

Some old folks have their savings wiped out by scammers.

People said old people tend to fall victims easily, however I had read news reports about even IT professional fall victims to scammers.

The latest hacking to get your money as seen in WhatsApp message as follows:

"Forwarded as received.

URGENT

Some people are going to upload pictures of the fighting in Jewish settlements on WhatsApp. The file is called Seismic Waves CARD.

Do not open it, it will hack your phone in 10 seconds and cannot be stopped in any way.

They talked about it on TV. A cyber attack on us from all kinds of directions is also starting.

Pass the information on to family and friends."

What are the popular scams nowadays?

Every day, we seem to see people fall victims with scams in the following manners:

1. Job scams

2. Malware scams.

3. Phishing scams.

  1. Job scams

There are a lot of job scams, supposedly from job portals.

Scammers would message you via WhatsApp or any social media platform to introduce you to some jobs with commission.

I used to receive a few in my WhatsApp saying my profile in the job portal fit the requirement they are looking for.

The work involved giving some comments and reviews, by doing so, can earn some commission, about $35 per review, and one day at least do 2 reviews and comments.

If one falls into this trick, he will notice after getting commissions as promised for the first few reviews, then the payment stops.

Then, they will say you need to pay certain money to go for higher commissions.

After a while, you notice the commissions do not come in and realize the scam is in operation.

Another example of scam which i just received in my WhatsApp group

"AS RECEIVED

My cousin received a call, asking if he had been vaccinated, if vaccinated to press 1.

If not vaccinated, press 2. As a result, he pressed 1, the phone was blocked and his online bank information/account were all transferred. Please be Alert and Careful and forward to more people to know about this new trick/scam. Forwarded as received.

2

Your BANK Account can be Empty without Notice.

There is a HIGH TECHNOLOGY SCAM going on at this time called SIM SWAP FRAUD, it is said that hundreds of people have been affected, they suddenly found that their bank accounts were EMPTY

How does it work?

1. The new scam called SIM SWAP starts like this... Your phone network will suddenly go blank / Zero Signal / Zero Bar and after a while, you will get a call.

2. The caller will tell you that he is calling from your mobile phone company depending on your network and that there is a problem in your mobile network.

3. He / she will instruct you to Please press 1 on your phone to regain network. PLEASE... at this stage
don't Press anything, Just hang up or END the call.

If you press 1 ,
the network will appear suddenly and in a moment your phone will go blank again (Zero Bar) and with that action, your phone is ALREADY HACKED

In a few seconds they will empty your bank account, and you won't receive any notification. About it.

It will appear as if your line has been disconnected with no Network, meanwhile your SIM has been CHANGED.

The danger here is, you won't get any transaction alerts.

Let's be very careful.

Please, send this info to your contacts, loved ones and friends.
Fraud is increasing day by day.

Received from a Cybersecurity Group

Many people have been affected.
Please share so that more people are saved from this SCAM!

Copied"

  1. Malware Scams

Malware always embed in the link sent by scammer.

if one clicks on the link in the message, it will activate the malware and your device will be infected with the malware.

depending on the device you are using, if you use your mobile phone, and you have been using the device for your banking activities, chances are once you click on the link, the malware will work in your mobile phone.

the end result is devastating, the malware will infect the device then the phishing will capture the information in your phones and send to the person who implant the malware.

  1. Phishing

to quote from https://www.avertium.com/blog/ransomware-phishing-malware-difference

to quote-- "Phishing attacks are often a vessel to deliver malware that masquerades as a communication from a trusted or reputable source. This type of cybercrime can come in the form of an email, a phone call (fishing), or a text message (smishing). The most common conduit is through email, with 96% of phishing attacks in 2019 leveraging the tool." unquote.

A phishing attack may look or sound like it’s from a company, friend, or family member, even someone within your own organization and contain a request for privileged information, or a link or attachment that results in a malicious download. Common phishing scams seem to come from a bank, credit card company, social media site, or online payment site.

More sophisticated phishing attacks can be a fraudulent invoice, an alert about supposed suspicious activity from your account, a coupon or reward offer, or a fake confirmation notice. Phishing kits allow cybercriminals with limited expertise to spam attacks with authentic-appearing emails or text messages.

Introduction

The producer of Gluta Raise in their website stated and I quote “ Gluta Raise - a breakthrough weight loss supplement that is helping thousands of people to balance hormones, reduce stress and anxiety, eliminate stress belly, and give them the restorative sleep they deserve, and helping affiliates make an absolute fortune.”unquote

Usually when people talk about weight loss, they will talk about hormone, thyroid function and food intake.

However for Gluta Raise, as you can notice in their website, they take a different approach in their effort to see results in weight loss.

They talk about igniter molecule, a molecule in our fat cells.

Gluta Raise target this molecule which is important for fat burning but this molecule diminishes with age.

New research from Baylor College of Medicine says your body can’t start melting fat off without the help of this molecule called GSH.

As we age, our body’s ability to produce GSH drastically decreases, and we store all the food we eat.

Gluta Raise is supposed to be able to rejuvenate the fat burning cell and get it work as we age.

In other words to give the body a boost it needs to burn fat.

Which group is suitable to use this supplement?

This supplement is for those men and women who want to balance their hormone, reduce stress and anxiety.

It can also eliminates stress belly, and restore the sleep the men and women deserve.

Scientists from Baylor College of Medicine just discovered the “Volcanic Slim Secret” of effortlessly skinny women.

Strangely enough, new studies reveal that as we age, a specific fat burning “igniter” molecule in your body starts to decrease.

We can find this molecule inside every fat cell – which explains why it becomes harder and harder to lose weight the older you get.

In order to find out whether this Gluta Raise is the right supplement for your weight loss, you may want to try out.

Published on Leave a comment on How To Avoid Facebook Scams And Protect Yourself – Part II

Introduction

In the first part of this, I talked about what are types of Facebook Scams.

Now we want to focus on how to avoid Facebook scams.

This may not be fool proof, but at least we need to develop best practice as much as possible.

Normally we get scammed because of our casual and don't care attitude, which may cause us dearly eventually.

some things we can do while using Facebook

1. Set your privacy setting correctly.

I will not go into details of this, all you have to do is to go to the privacy setting and set the privacy setting which suit you.

2. Enable two steps authentication,

some may find this tedious, well, normally if you do not want to suffer this pain, you may suffer a more serious pain later.

3. Check carefully before accepting friends request.

Sometimes this may be a bit difficult to deal with, especially for those who are using Facebook Page for their businesses.

If that is the case, then you may have to exercise your discretion and intelligent to determine whether to accept the friends' request. you may want to carry out a due diligent online to have some ideas of the so called friends' requests.

4. Do not click on any link you come across in any FaceBook post you are reading.

Normally when we are surfing some Facebook posts, they are some links in the posts.

It is advisable not to click on the link unless you know the pages and posts you are reading are from reliable sources.

Sometimes, we may surf some news posts posted and try to understand and learn more about certain subjects, then you may have to be extra careful about the links in the posts you are reading.

5. Change your passwords every few months.

It is advisable to change the password of your login now and then, preferably after a few months.

This is quite a good practice, as it keeps you on alert and not easy for others to hack into your password.

More so if you have a very strong password involving lower case, upper case, character and number and preferably more than 8 characters long.

6. Check your login history and review any irregular visits.

sometimes if we review the history of our login, if we discover some irregularity, we need to take step to rectify, perhaps report to Facebook immediately.

7. Do not do your online shopping in Facebook if possible.

I normally do not do my shopping online, as I like to support the provision shop near my place.

Shopping on shopping platform may be good but on Facebook? I would not do that.

Why can't you do it on the Merchant's website? why must it be done in Facebook?

these are some steps you may want to consider.

Now we talk about what we can do off Facebook to avoid the scam.

1. Ensure your computer or any device you used to login Facebook is properly protected.

when using your computer or laptop or mobile phone to login to Facebook, ensure you have a good operating system which is updated.

you may also want to ensure you shield your device from public eyes when you are doing the login.

2. Report any irregularity or emails from "Facebook".

Most of the time, we tend to just click on the inbox of our email when we see it is from Facebook, without checking clearly the email domain whether it is from Facebook.

If we do come across this fictitious emails, we need to report to Facebook directly.

3. Have a good anti virus program in your device.

It goes without saying that a good anti virus software help to eliminate the threat and harm.

4. Use your common sense and logic.

Sometimes common sense is still the best control we have to avoid the scam.

If we can apply common sense and come to our senses, we will detect the scam easily.

What happen if you have been scammed, what can you do to minimize the damages?

1. Report to Facebook immediately.

If you think your Facebook account has been compromised, you need to report to Facebook immediately,

Hopefully they will take action and recover your account for you.

To me, Facebook should be doing the due diligence when one wants to open an account with them,

2. Change the login password.

as mentioned earlier, it is good that you have some complex password and change your password now and then.

3. Freeze the credit.

once you know your account has been hacked, you should call the banks and credit cards companies to freeze your account immediately.

4. Inform banks and credit cards companies to stop the credit cards.

the timing of informing the banks and credit cards companies will minimize your losses due to the hacking of your accounts.

prompt reporting may also help you to recover your losses.

5. Check your device and re-set if need be.

checking device if you discover there is some irregularity in the way your device is operating, it is best you can re-set your device, as for mobile phone, go back to factory setting, while for laptop, reinstall the operation system.

These are some ways we can do to detect and avoid Facebook scam.

Conclusion

Hope this can help you to be aware of the scams going on so that you will be more alert.

If you have been scammed before or aware of any scam, do share your experience in the comments section below.

Published on Leave a comment on How To Avoid Facebook Scams And Protect Yourself – Part I

Facebook is one of the most popular social media.

People like to use Facebook to reach out and get in touch with others.

A lot of people are using Facebook to conduct their businesses and trying to gain as much as traction as possible.

Because of the popularity of Facebook, cybercriminals also use this to prey on their victims.

With so many users of this social media, cybercriminals treat this as their gold mine for them to get their victims.

If the cybercriminals can successfully catch a fraction of the users, it is a golden harvest for them.

What are the common scams in Facebook?

1. Phishing scams.

Phishing scams happen all the times, especially in Email, normally when you receive an email with a link, especially from an unknown sender, the best advice is to delete the email straight away.

The worst that can happen is you go and open the email and click on any link in it.

This may also happen in Facebook feed you are browsing, sometimes some fake Facebook account posted a news feed and you click on the link, that is the end.

You have activated the phishing malware embedded in the link.

The purpose of the phishing scam is to extract the information in your laptop or computer.

Now the cybercriminal is more sophisticated, they may engage you to talk in Facebook Messengers.

Once you are in continuous exchange of messages with them on Messenger, they may send you a link, since you have been in messaging with them, you may lower down your guard and decide to click on the link.

End result? whatever important information you have in your laptop/computer, especially your banking details, login details, credit cards details will be accessed by them.

2. Romance Scams

Romance scams are quite rampant in Facebook nowadays.

It becomes worse when Facebook allows user to open fictitious account, sometimes, you may think the profile of an account is a pretty lady.

Do you really think it is a pretty lady?

In fact, it is a man who is out to scam his victim, especially those who are love sick, or have preferences for females.

They think they can prey on the females, without realizing they are actually the target of the cybercriminals.

When the hook up is done, both parties will get into conversation and the "lady" will try to show she has been having a hard time, and need some help to tie over the predicament she is facing.

I have come across the following modus operandi a few times.

you would have some pretty faces who wanted to add you as friends, so you agreed to add them .

next they would message you via messenger and tell you they were seldom on Facebook and asked for your WhatsApp.

so you added them on WhatsApp, and they started chatting with you on that social media.

after chatting for a few days, the game started, during the first few days, the "lady" would tell you how she was dumped by her friend and now she needed to find her own living by working hard.

then telling you what work she was in and having one assignment, needed to get it done the soonest possible.

another day later, telling you that she encountered a problem and needed to purchase something online but not able to do so.

so she needed your help so that she could complete her work.

The moment she mentioned getting her an Apple Gift Card, that was the red flag telling you this was a scam.

another one which I came across was, she was having a meeting about investment.

She already opened an account but due to the work and company policy, she could not manage that account and needed you to help to administer the account.

3. Lottery Winning Scams

If you opened any Facebook page, you could see a lot of Pages about winning on gambling.

there were so many now on Facebook Pages and if you joined, they would send you a link.

The moment you click on the link, that would be the end of your personal data in your laptop.

4. Job Scams

this is a very common scam in Facebook, someone would post a job vacancy and promising so much in such a short time.

Cyber Criminals are cashing in on the current job market.

since there are quite a lot of people who lost their jobs during the height of pandemic, and every one was desperate to try to get a job so that they could put food on the table for the family.

in desperation, people may just respond to the advertisement for the job and provide the personal details to the scammers.

5. Shopping Scams

Facebook has evolved from one simple casual social networking tools into a large e-commerce tools for businesses to tap on the resources to increase their revenue.

Since every one is jumping into this platform to cash in on its popularity.

Cyber criminals also decided to set up bogus accounts representing certain brands, and using that to phish for information of the unsuspecting customers.

The scammers would post some out of this world offer which raised the impulse of people to buy, the too-good-to-be-true offer would blind the conscience of the people, then this would be the end for people.

6. Fake Friends Request Scams

Facebook does not really check on the identity of a person who opened an account with them, to them, the more accounts being opened, the better it would be, especially those business related accounts or PAGES.

They needed accounts holders to open more PAGES and promote the PAGES, the more account holders spend, the better for them.

Even though the accounts may not be a real account.

most of the time, we could detect that a lot of have pretty ladies as the profiles pictures and most of the times, the faces were the same.

When you accepted the friends request, you would want to look at what they posted.

a lot of them in their posts, you would see a lot of links or websites, and if you click on that, and your antivirus is good enough, it would flag the alert of the potential risks involved.

Conclusion

in my next post, I will be talking about the followings:

1. How to avoid Facebook Scam.

2. What you can do to be more alert.

3. What you can do if you are a victim of the scam.

For the time being, do give me your feedback and share your experience in the comments section below.

Published on Leave a comment on Weight Loss For Mature Ladies, How Can You Achieve It.

First, let me say that I do not endorse the use of crash diets. Some can be very dangerous. Nor do I have anything against diet pills. Used appropriately, they are usually safe.

However, I would like to talk about what I believe is the most effective weight loss method I've ever used.

It's called the Paleo Diet.

Basically, it's based around eating what our ancestors ate. Food that was available when man first evolved. So, it's mostly meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruit, nuts, and seeds.

Animal protein is considered to be very nutrient dense. It's high in vitamin B12, as well as vitamins E, D, and K2.

Therefore Animal fat is very satisfying. It has nine calories per gram, as compared to only four for carbohydrate and protein.

Animal fat, as well as animal protein, is also very satiating. That means, it's filling. In fact, one study showed that overweight people who ate a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet lost more body fat than people who ate a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet.

However, that's not all. The Paleo Diet is also easy on your joints. For example, the Arthritis Foundation has found that people who are overweight (and especially obese), often suffer arthritis.

So, while the Paleo Diet will definitely help you lose weight, it's also a great way to keep arthritis from coming back.

The Paleo Diet is also very economical. After all, meat is cheap. Eggs are cheap. So are vegetables. Fruit is a bit more expensive, but in the Paleo Diet, fruit is eaten as a special treat. And nuts are expensive. So, while nuts are not absolutely necessary, they do make a good snack.

Finally, the Paleo Diet is good for your health. It is low in carbohydrates, and studies have shown that carbs can be bad for your body. In fact, carbs are a major cause of diseases like cancer, stroke, and heart attack.

So, for all of the above reasons, I have switched to the Paleo Diet.

Just to share some extract from Paleo Diet website - quote

What Actually is Paleo Diet?

The Paleo diet is really simple.

‘Paleo’ just means real food. It’s the food from nature that our bodies were designed to eat. This is food we digest and extract nutrients from the most easily.

On the flip side of the coin, Paleo also means cutting out all the unnatural and processed food that gets churned out in factories…

…And, some food that seems healthy, but is actually very poor in nutrients and hard for our body to digest.

Assuming you often feel brain fog, sluggishness, bloating, and low energy, these types of food may be responsible. Our bodies were not evolved to easily digest these foods, because they were refined and created only in recent times.

 If you cut all that stuff out of your diet for just one month, you will be amazed at how much better you already feel.

And, when you only eat Paleo-friendly natural food… You will notice- like many have- that your energy goes through the roof, and your body starts to burn off the extra fat. unquote

Again, I do not endorse the use of crash diets. But, if you want to lose weight, the Paleo Diet is definitely a safe way to do it.

That is why I do not endorse the use of crash diets. Some can be very dangerous. Nor do I have anything against diet pills. However, do keep in mind that diet pills can have serious side effects.

Instead, I would recommend regular exercise. The benefits of exercise are many. First of all, exercise can be enjoyable.

For example, I like playing tennis. And, for me, it is a great way to exercise. Of course, tennis is not the only game that is enjoyable. You can also go for a walk. Or, you could run. Or, you could go to the gym. Or, you could ride a bike. Or, you could play basketball. Or, you could go hiking. Or, you could play softball. Or, you could join an aerobics class. Or, you could lift weights. Or, you could swim. Or, you could do Yoga. Or, you could do Pilates.

How to boost metabolism and lose weight

Metabolism is a term we always associate with our body.

Every thing we do using our body, we will talk about metabolism.

What is metabolism?

Metabolism is the process in your body which takes place in converting the food and drink which you take into energy.

The process will take calorie and oxygen in the food and drink and convert into energy by going through a chemical or metabolic process in your body, and so that your body has the energy to carry out the functions.

Why is metabolism important?

Metabolism is continuously providing energy for our body functions even when we are resting.

The basic functions required for metabolism are:

Breathing.

Circulating blood.

Digesting food.

Growing and repairing cells.

Managing hormone levels.

Regulating body temperature.

BMR or Basal Metabolic Rate, is the term we always come across.

Have we ever wondered what is this BMR, other than the physician and people in health and medical fields care about it, normal people will not bother to find out what BMR is.

In simple term, it is the minimum calories required in our bodies to function when we are resting.

However this varies from person to person.

Our body usually use about one tenth of the energy to process the food into fuel for our use, the rest of the energy is for our bodies movement and so on.

We have to bear in mind that metabolism is not equate to losing weight, a fast metabolism does not mean you will have a slim body and having ideal weight as compared to your height.

Do we know what factors affect metabolism or metabolic rate?

Many factors can affect how your metabolism functions.

People tend to focus on burning calorie, as the more calories they burn, the better it will be.

Therefore for some the factors which affect metabolism functions are such as:

Age: As we get older, our metabolism tends to slow down because we are losing muscle.

Genes: The genes you inherit from your parents play a role in your muscle size and ability to build muscle mass.

Muscle mass: People who have more muscle mass have faster metabolism as they need to burn more calories. It takes more energy (calories) to build and maintain muscle than fat.

Physical activity: We all know more exercise we do, we burn more calories, thus, even Walking, running and chasing after your kids, playing tennis and other forms of exercise cause your body to burn more calories.

Sex: Males tend to have faster metabolisms than females. They have more muscle mass, larger bones and less body fat.

Smoking: Nicotine speeds up your metabolism, so you burn more calories. This is one reason people who quit smoking may put on weight.

So smokers will tell you they rather continue their smoking habits than gaining weight after quitting smoking.

But they seem to have forgotten that the health consequences of smoking.

What are the health consequences of smoking?

 — cancer, high blood pressure, coronary artery disease —

All the above seem to far outweigh any benefit you might get from burning a few extra calories.

The next question is how to boost metabolism?

Coffee Ignite seem to be the answer if one is willing to have a go at this, especially in the morning.

As stated in their website, this is The world’s first and only 100% safe and natural proprietary, patent-pending formula, that when combined with coffee, can increase both the speed and efficiency of metabolism...

This product seems to be working very well and have the following “

Electrifying metabolism...

Releasing and burning fat...

Enjoying incredible all-day-energy...
