Remote fraud


The world has become small with the introduction of online global services. The Internet has brought people closer together and simplified our lives with a range of services from online banking, online stores and all other services. However, the Internet has also enabled online fraud or remote fraud.

The police classify these online frauds as investment frauds, which last year in 2024 took away 19.5 million euros from savers in Slovenia alone. This information also shows that people are extremely trusting on the Internet and by phone.

Banks are again informing about the possibility of online banking fraud, as online fake bank fraudsters have appeared, requesting data and installation of individual applications, such as crypto exchanges KuCoin, Binance, Revolut, Bitstamp, Mercuryo... . So we will not know again or we will no longer trust official crypto exchanges or we will simply no longer save in cryptocurrencies. These cryptocurrency wallets with similar or identical names can be found in the Google Play Store.

Online fraudsters also use remote access applications such as Anydesk, Supremo, Mobile Assist, Teamviewer... . The Anydesk Remote Desktop version can also be found in the Google Play Store, as can the Supremo, Mobile Assistant, and Teamviewer versions... . All of these listed applications are supposed to be installed according to the instructions of online fraudsters via links or shortcuts sent by email, but incredibly almost all of them can also be found in the so-called Google Play Store and are supposed to allow remote access.

So we can only hope that we can trust the administrators of the Google Play Store that these applications available to us in the Google Play Store were not created by online fraudsters remotely.

It also most likely depends on our common sense and trust in experts not to install an application that is intended for online fraud. We will also probably not decide to turn off our telephone and internet services, including banking, due to the reappearance of telephone and online scammers.

In principle, online banking or investment scammers need official personal and bank details about payment cards, bank accounts and the balance on your bank account for their fraud and, of course, they also promise large money transfers. We must also be aware that nothing falls from the sky, including the promised large sums of money. It is probably best to simply block such callers immediately. It is too late to ring after the hail, and also after our trusting and stupid disclosure of our personal details and personal finances to unknown persons over the phone or on the road. We can hope that the contacts, websites and applications of our banks have not been misused.

In the event that you fall for online investment and banking scammers, you will most likely have to cover all missing funds yourself. Of course, you can report online investment fraud to the police and block your bank account and bank card at your bank, but the security of your finances is on your shoulders, or in other words, your responsibility. It is more than enough for the bank and the police to inform you about such online frauds when a certain group of people has already been harmed, thus preventing further harm to a wider group of people.

Is BRICKS a threat to the West?

   The artificially created BRICKS currency has been around since 2006. Its function is designed and defined as an attempt to establish a universal currency for international business, which will help BRICKS members to be more secure against the so-called influence of the West. The first group of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa was joined by the United Arab Emirates, Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia in all these years until October 2024. Saudi Arabia is also mentioned. The purpose of this year's meeting of BRICS members was also to increase the number of members, as more than 30 countries were expected to attend the meeting, and they tried to inspire them to accept BRICS in international trade by showing the growth of gross domestic product (GDP) or a measure of economic activity, or one of the indicators of the country's economic development. According to the BRICKS alliance, the G7 (USA, Canada, Japan, France, Italy, Great Britain and Germany) are facing tough times. T...

Which representatives would you vote for?

    We are once again in the time of resounding, glorious elections, when the people chose their representatives. Of course, the selection of people's representatives is always based on how well the candidates presented their programs to the wider masses. Of course, the selection of representatives is also based on what suits the broad masses of voters in these programs . Crowds of voters tend to like hearing stories and promises of their success, prosperity and peace. They are less willing to hear about other people's problems. This was also evident in this year's elections in the USA. A lot of people want to have their own interests and well-being in the first place in their country. Only after their needs are met would they deal with other problems and the well-being of others. Of course, this election story is also conditioned by the existing situation in the country. When a country lives in peace with other countries, it may think about ensuring peace for others as wel...

Politika in draginja

Obeti ali napovedi za letošnje leto spet niso najboljši kot se večkrat pokaže v vsakdanjem življenju. Politični  vrhovi posameznih tako imenovanih razvitih držav so več kot očitno pozabili, da je eden od pogojev za uspešno poslovanje, ki se odraža tudi v naši vsakodnevni košarici za preživetje, pravzaprav obdobje miru, ne pa vojne. Vojno stanje ali vojna nevarnost prinaša namreč dodatne obremenitve državljanov v obrambne namene. Samo vojno stanje pomeni uničevanje, ne samo življenj, ampak tudi premoženja in seveda tudi onemogočeno poslovanje. In seveda tudi manj pritoka denarja v državni proračun in večje državne izdatke. Tako se rušilna in uničevalna narava vojnega stanja projicira v rušilno in uničevalno moč gospodarstva in s tem tudi našega vsakdana. Vojna pomeni pomanjkanje dobrin in s tem tudi draginjo že osnovnih življenjskih potrebščin zaradi uničenja tovarn in polj. Vojna pomeni draga bivališča, saj jih je veliko ali celo večina poškodovanih ali uničenih. Vojna pomeni tudi ...
