MT6 Cryptocurrency Scam

     A real story of MT6 Cryptocurrency scam. This is a true story which a very close friend(We will call him John) of mine experienced it.

This is how it started, John met a girl on a group which was for the business owner. Her name was Angie (AKA Angel). (They can reach you any platform such as Tinder, meetup, etc where they can have a fake profile). So, he was approached by her for friendship and it was casual so nothing to suspect. Being a kind gentlemen John accepted her friendship and they started messaging each other. It was just a casual friendship. One day Angie asked him for his number since it was getting difficult for chatting on the existing platform. John shared his number and immediately received a message from a number from CHINA. This was the first alarm which he missed. Poor guy thought that this could be Angie’s secondary number and anyways she is a girl so she might not share her number of Australia soon.

After chatting for a few days Angie one day asked John for his hobbies for which he responded with football, etc. John asked the same question to Angie, she said that she likes to do market trading of cryptocurrency in USDT. This was her first bait for him. It was an interesting thing to hear for him so John asked more and Angie’s response was promising with positive and everything. This topic went for a few days and John asked if She can teach him also. She agreed to teach him and asked him to buy 3600 USDT from https://www.coinspot.com.au/. And then also helped John to add that coin to so-called market https://mustsimple.com/ for trading. It turned out to be some kind of lottery system.

John asked Angie about the platform and she explained everything. She also showed John her accumulation of 200000 USDT she earned from trading there. This was easy convincing. I know you guys won’t believe, but you will trust someone with whom you are already talking from some time.

After this, she explained to John about the game. She asked him to go to mustsimple.com and open AT5FPK10 game. Then she asked him to bet only on Champion section under 1~5. There is 10 num bet and you need to select 5 numbers. Also, explained to him about 6times plan and tripling the bet when you lose to recover the loss in next bet. It was like if you lose the bet then bet on the same numbers by increasing the bet 3 times the amount and keep betting. she also asked to have the money to play till 6 Times for the game to reduce risk. She also played the lottery games with him and helped him make 50USDT.

John was very happy with the win and earnings. John played with her for 3 days and kept winning 50 USDT every day. After this John asked her for the strategy to pick the number. She explained that we need to go to the lottery results section and pick two numbers called hot numbers which are frequently appearing and three number called as cold numbers which didn’t appear or appear very sparingly. And then bet on them.

When John played by himself, he lost, but he used to win when she was there. After a few days, she introduced him with her uncle (Abel) in China over WhatsApp and told him that he is one who helps her. John appreciated Abel for his abilities. Abel started chatting with John on personal chat and after few chats, he asked him about his USDT for which he said 3750 USDT. Abel said that this is too little and asked him to arrange 12000USDT for a game which he said will gain 3000USDT profit. John took a step back and told him that he will let him know if he is interested. Abel’s plan was different from 6times plan above. His plan was only 4 times. The bet was on 1 number from each section. So, one number from the champion, one from 2nd place, one from 3rd place, one from 4th place and one from 5th place. And even if you lose, you get a new set of numbers.

60180

After few days Angie showed John about the profit of 25000USDT form Abel’s game. This was a good profit and John was lured to play with Abel by this. John agreed for the next game and he literally made 3000 USDT in that game with Abel and was happy. Abel played the next trick and asked him to get 18200 or 20000 USDT for next game to make 7000 USDT profit in next game. Somehow John was not ready and asked for time. They kept pushing him till 10 PM at night but he didn’t get ready. Below was the plan for the game

tumblr_c03dc0fd9c6a58f05287c9c55d446a3d_0df6708c_400

Next day Abel messaged John that the game is going to be open again today and he is invited to play if ready. Meanwhile, Angie sent John the screenshot of her profit of 50000 USDT from last night’s game. Poor John got convinced and agreed to play. Abel asked him to message his assistant name Dnnie for the game.

This was the doom day for John. John started playing with Dnnie and won’t he first game, but he lost the next game 3 Times. He asked Dnnie about it but, Dnnie was very positive that he will make John win in the 4th attempt, but he couldn’t and John lost all the money he had.

John was very angry and asked for the money from Dnnie, for which Dnnie said he is sorry and if John can 5000 USDT he will top more 5000 USDT and recover all the loss, but John was not ready for investing a Penny. Dnnie request that John that not to complain to Abel or else he will lose the job. John said he will complain if Dnnie will repay for which Dnnie said does not have that much USDT and will be losing the Job.

When John complained about this to Abel and Angie, Angie said we are sorry for this but he should be strong and trust them to recover. Even Abel was like we are sorry for your loss, it was Dnnie counting mistake and Abel will help John recover his loss. Also, asked him that how much USDT can he arrange. When John said he cannot do a single USDT anymore then Abel starting showing his nostalgia. Abel said that he was also like John. Penniless and Ambitious.

By this time, John was 100% sure that this was a scam and he was getting lured by letting him make a loss and then win that again. He also, realised one thing that the service agent which was replying on mustsimple.com to all the queries, Abel and Angie, they all come online at the same time. John blocked all of them on WhatsApp and took promised himself to save himself as well as other from such scams

Luckily he didn’t lose a fortune, but still lost a good amount of money. The reason I am taking the pain of writing the article about this scam is to save naive people like John who trust others easily and get duped.

Please don’t fall victim to such an organised scam and lose your hard-earned money. Never trust others, even if you meet them in person and they assure you for profit.

Fact # 275

COVID-19 What is social distancing?

It simply means to maintain a distance between you and other people of at least 1.5 m.

That also means minimizing contact with people.

  • Avoid public transportation whenever possible,

  • Avoid nonessential travel

  • Work from home

  • Skipping social gatherings

  • Do not go to crowded bars and sporting arenas.

Dr. Gerardo Chowell, chair of population health sciences at Georgia State University said: “Every single reduction in the number of contacts you have per day with relatives, with friends, co-workers, in school will have a significant impact on the ability of the virus to spread in the population”.

Thousands of lives were saved during below stated pandemics with this approach.

  • The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918.

  • Mexico City during the 2009 flu pandemic.

 
 

Fact # 274

COVID-19 fact check

  • Face masks don’t work: As explained in the earlier post, a face mask is only recommended for people having symptoms or if they are infected.

  • It is mutating into a more deadly strain: All viruses accumulate mutations over time and the virus that causes Covid-19 is no different.

  • It is no more dangerous than winter flu: Many individuals who get coronavirus will experience nothing worse than seasonal flu symptoms, but the overall profile of the disease, including its mortality rate, looks more serious

  • It mostly kills the elderly, so younger people can relax: Most people who are not elderly and do not have underlying health conditions will not become critically ill from Covid-19.

  • You need to be with an infected person for 10 minutes: For flu, some hospital guidelines define exposure as being within six feet of an infected person who sneezes or coughs for 10 minutes or longer.

  • A vaccine could be ready within a few months: Scientists were quick out of the gates in the beginning development of a vaccine for the new coronavirus, helped by the early release of the genetic sequence by Chinese researchers.

Fact # 271

COVID-19 Symptoms

As per World Health Organisation (WHO), the main symptoms of the coronavirus usually include:

  1. Tiredness

  2. Cough

  3. Fever

  4. Difficulty breathing (severe cases)

Some people may also have “aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat or diarrhea”.

WHO also said that “These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually. Some people become infected but don’t develop any symptoms and don’t feel unwell”.

The incubation period for the virus is 14 days, which means the symptoms may occur in between that time if you have Corona Virus.

If you have serious symptoms such as difficulty breathing, call 000 for urgent medical help.

All these symptoms are quite similar to flu and cold hence many people are confused about how to determine whether they are infected or not.

To reduce the confusion the Australian Government has a symptoms checker that can be used to make a decision to some extent. below is the link for the same.

Facts About the plastic curse to society

Image result for plastic garbage

HERE ARE THE 10 IMPORTANTS FACTS ABOUT PLASTIC

1. Aprox of 8.3 billion tons of plastic have been manufactured across the worl till today.

As per Guardian report, an estimated 8.3 billion tons of plastic have been produced since the 1950s — that’s equivalent to the weight of more than 800,000 Eiffel Towers.

And only 9% of it has been recycled.

2. In some parts of the world, using plastic is already illegal.

Kenya introduced one of the world’s toughest laws against plastic bags in 2017. Now, Kenyans who are caught producing, selling, or even using plastic bags will risk imprisonment of up to four years or fines of $40,000 (£31,000).

Other countries that have banned, partially banned, or taxed single-use plastic bags include China, France, Rwanda, and Italy.

You can find about other countries and cities that have brought in extraordinaryplastic bans here.

3. 73% of beach litter worldwide is plastic.

According to National Geographic, 73% of all beach litter is plastic.The litter includes filters from cigarette butts, bottles, bottle caps, food wrappers, grocery bags, and polystyrene containers.

4. A million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute.

A report by the Guardian found that 1 million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute, and this number is set to increase by another 20% by 2021 if we don’t act.

The same report said more than 480 billion plastic drinking bottles were purchased in 2016 across the world — up from 300 billion a decade ago.

Additionally, less than half of the bottles purchased in 2016 were recycled — with just 7% of those collected turned into new bottles, and the rest ending up in landfill sites or the ocean.

5. Worldwide, about 2 million plastic bags are used every minute.

This might seem like an unbelievable number, but according to Ecowatch, between 500 billion and 1 trillion plastic bags are used worldwide annually.

New Yorkers alone use 23 billion plastic bags every year, according to the New York City Department of Environmental Conservation (which is why it’s so great that the city is getting a ban on grocery bags).

Bans on plastic bags have already proved to be extremely effective in the countries that have them. In the UK, for example, the introduction of a 5p plastic bag charge introduced in 2015 has brought about an 83% reduction in plastic bag use.

While Britain still produces 1.3 billion plastic bags a year, according to a government report in April 2017, the fall in use marks significant progress.

6. 90% of plastic polluting our oceans is carried by just 10 rivers.

According to World Economic Forum researchers, just 10 rivers across Asia and Africa carry 90% of the plastic that ends up in the oceans.

The study states that eight of these rivers are in Asia: the Yangtze, Indus, Yellow, Hai He, Ganges, Pearl, Amur, and Mekong. Two of the rivers can be found in Africa: the Nile and the Niger.

The WEF added that the two things all the rivers named have in common is a high population living in the area, as well as a poor waste management system.

7. Plastic is killing more than 1.1 million seabirds and animals every year.

A study conducted by the University of Queensland in Australia, based on data collected since the late 1980s, found that Green sea turtles now ingest twice the plastic they did 25 years ago.

According to the United Nations, ingestion of plastic kills an estimated 1 million marine birds and 100,000 marine animals each year.

Additionally, more than 90%of all birds and fish are believed to have plastic particles in their stomach. It’s because plastic breaks up into tiny pieces in the sea, which are then consumed by fish and other sea animals.

Research from Plymouth University has found that close to 700 species of marine life are facing extinction due to the increase of plastic pollution.

8. The average person eats 70,000 microplastics each year.

That works out to about 100 bits of microplastic over the course of just one meal, according to a study published in Environmental Pollution.

A team of UK-based researchers put petri dishes with sticky surfaces next to dinner plates in three homes in the UK. After just 20 minutes, the dishes accumulated an average of 14 microplastics.

9.  The average time that a plastic bag is used for is … 12 minutes.

Yep, that’s right — they’re used for an average of 12 minutes and then take up to a thousand years to decompose.

10. Over the past 50 years, world plastic production has doubled.

While increasing numbers of organisations and countries are banning plastic use and production, the world’s leading plastic manufacturers are planning to increase production by almost a third over the next five years, according to the World Economic Forum.

In 1974, global plastic consumption per year was 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) per capita. Today, this has increased to 43 kilograms (about 95 pounds) — and this number is still set to increase.

If plastic consumption increases at its current rate, according to National Geographic, by 2050 there will be 12 billion metric tons of plastic in landfills.

FACT # 269

People Judge You with 7 Small Things

1. Your handwriting

84c008b834b445e51dac4e42c7a3d0cd

According to a study, the way someone writes and the size of their handwriting can tell you certain things about the person. According to the research which was conducted by the National Pen Company, it is revealed that persons with small handwriting tend to be shy, meticulous and studious while people who were more outgoing tried gaining attention with larger handwriting.

Those who take things seriously put more pressure on the pen when they write, while light-handed writers typically tend to be empathetic and are more sensitive.

2. Your color

723e046f7cab507f054a762d68276c45

According to an article on Psychology Today, the color you frequently turn to for clothes or are more akin to says a lot about who you are. People who frequently choose black are sensitive, artistic and attentive to details, while those who love red live life to the fullest and proactive in their endeavors.

People who love green are loyal and affectionate, while those who love white are organized and logical, and those who have blue as their favorite color are stable, sensitive and are considerate of others.

3. Biting your nails

5b406c8c25ebd7b1a70625894662ff65

Certain body-focused repetitive behaviors can say a lot about your personality. How your body reacts to situations, whether by pulling your hair, biting your nails or picking at your skin could elicit impatience, frustration, boredom and dissatisfaction.

Take nail biting for example. According to a research, it is suggested that those who bite their nails tend to be perfectionists, while also tense and often nervous.

4. Your shoes

01aa9c5cbdf59fabb46aed52c4e17a19

According to psychologists, you can correctly judge a person just by looking at their shoes. According to the lead researcher Omri Gillath from the University of Kansas, just by examining the cost, style, color and condition of the shoe, you can be able to guess about 90% of the owner’s personal characteristic such as his or her income, political affiliation, gender, and even age.

5. Your eyes

3ddfcbe3d6e0095ebc17aa229db34ed1

Your eyes are the mirror to your soul. Your eyes can tell a lot about you, what you are thinking and feeling and if you are either deceitful or loyal. According to studies, people with blue eyes are less agreeable and more likely to be alcoholics than people with darker eyes.

Another way the eye gives you away is that a lack of steady eye contact would reveal a lack of self-control and a weak will.

6. Your punctuality

782e5bbfd84ed5d4aabe2095a21d635d

How early or late you show up for an appointment or a meeting could form an impression, either negative or positive, about your personality. Being late for an important date means you are creating a negative impression about who you are, while being early for an appointment means you are considerate about other people’s time, and are both mentally organized and self-motivated.

7. Your handshake

84c6d08e4fb2114307f84ed69b8085a1

It has been discovered that people with a strong handshake exude confidence and reflect a strong and confident character. Such people are also more likely to be extroverted, being expressive of their emotions, and less likely to be placid.

People with weak handshakes, on the other hand, lack confidence and always tend to want the easy way out of a challenge. Offering a handshake alone could be the different between appearing standoffish or sincerely friendly.
