Only Umratia
The incidents of cyber crime and cyber fraud are increasing day by day. It is because people are being fooled very easily, which cyber goons are taking advantage of. After knowing about some incidents of cyber fraud, one wonders how people can be so stupid? It is understandable that older people fall prey to such fraud. They aren't all that comfortable with new technology and the internet, but what about the fact that young people get fooled so easily?
Even the radish went in the circle of interest! It is still a recent phenomenon. A person has lost 56 lakh rupees in the circle of earning by liking YouTube videos. This book seller got a small payment of 123,492 for watching and liking the video two or three times before. Then he was added to the Telegram group by giving a big lure. Bottled in the name of higher return scheme and finally it was the turn to lose 56 lakh rupees. Another 35-year-old brother living in Delhi got a message on WhatsApp that give rating and review on Google and earn. He also received four to five payments initially. After that, the brother got tempted and joined the Telegram group. As per the instruction received in the group, downloaded some app and invested 7.5 lakh rupees in it. Now to say that it was invested or to walk in front and give the money to the thief? To say this in native language, radishes have also gone in the circle of interest!
Why does this happen? The main reason behind this happening is greed. The temptation to earn more money without doing anything, for which the term 'Easy Money' is used. Cyber goons are experts in offering such lures. They set traps systematically. When such a lure is given from above, it is accompanied by an emotional card. This offer is for you only, do not inform anyone else. You are doing a great job so we are taking you forward. The offer will not be availed after making a decision within a day. That says a lot. People come and go in such things. Which comes everywhere in news, social media etc. The government is also running many campaigns. Yet people are falling into temptation and becoming fools.
Use common sense People who are victims of such incidents do not use common sense that if they could get money by giving reviews or liking videos, then there would be no unemployed people in this country. Hey, just think, who will give the money to give a review of the Taj Mahal, good man? What is the need? If a shopkeeper has to give a review, which shopkeeper should spend 500 rupees + commission for a review? If you are walking on the road and a stranger asks you for 100 rupees, you refuse, because obviously you do not know him. If the same man tells you to give 100 rupees today, after two days I will give you back 500 rupees. will you give Do not give. You will say that brother, I don't know you, I don't know where you live, what you do. Then why give money? Now when someone makes a similar offer to you on WhatsApp or Telegram, why do you believe it? Remember one thing that there is no such thing as 'Easy Money'. If you fall into the circle of 'Easy Money' then the hard work you have earned will also be lost. In the world of social media and the internet, nothing is as it seems. So now, if you ever get an offer to earn online like this from anywhere, stop there. Before proceeding, think not once, twice or thrice but seventeen times. Ask three people and use common sense.
