Vo Hoai Nam in the movie excerpt The taste of love n (Vo Hoai Nam) Vo Hoai Nam used to be a beloved face on television decades ago with the series Criminal Police . After Street stories (2005), the actor born in 1965 stopped acting to focus on family affairs and suddenly returned to the screen after 16 years of absence with the role of Mr. The taste of friendship. Although the role does not appear much, but the movie scenes of Vo Hoai Nam are highly appreciated by the audience for his honest and introspective acting. Vo Hoai Nam shared the reason for returning to movies after 16 years as an actor on the show VTV Connect: “After many years, I took a break because I was busy with my own work, so I have not been able to serve many movies to the audience. After 16 years, I returned to the role of Mr. Sinh. One fine day, the director and producer came to talk to the brothers and said that they had an idea that they wanted to invite for a role. I hear it too close to me, close to emotion and interiority because I’m a person who prefers to act introspectively over form. So I decided to lose weight to make my face miserable, wrinkled, and the longer my hair fell, the more miserable it was. The first time I received a movie without reading the script, going against my rules ever since. I’m very happy that the new role appears less but is loved by the audience.” The actor talked about the challenge of this role: “The gangsters are always stalking and pulling him back to gain prestige. He was forced to hide and only dared to stand from afar to look at his children. Acting those scenes he had to do to The audience understands the heart of a father who is close to his son, touches his child, stands close to his child but does not dare to accept his child. That is the challenge of this Mr. Sinh’s role in this movie. The taste of friendship”. Sharing about how to raise emotions for Mr. Sinh’s role, Vo Hoai Nam said: “If you want to hold on to the scene to get your emotions, it doesn’t exist because it’s all shown from the inside out. Because there are dozens of people watching outside. , then the camera is placed in all directions, the light is blinding the eyes, how can you get the emotion, but that is the most important thing for the actor, when he goes to the scene, he forgets all the surrounding things to express. The inner character of the character gives the closest performance. If we act well, we will have an audience, if we lie a little bit, we will lose the audience. That is a principle from the past to now that I have never violated.” Vo Hoai Nam changes hairstyle for part 2 of ‘Flavor of Friendship’. Vo Hoai Nam further revealed that in part 2 he had to cut his hair to create a new image of Mr. Sinh. “In part 2, Mr. Sinh’s role has a relationship and has many new knots”, he revealed.

Archaeologists examine the mummy. Everyone thinks this is an “unprecedented” archaeological find, but the truth is just a sophisticated scam. Shocking discovery In October 2000, police in Karachi, Pakistan received a tip that a man named Ali Akbar was selling a mummy for 600 million rupees, or about $11 million. According to the source, it was not an ordinary mummy, but “Princess of Persia”. Immediately, the police raided Akbar’s house, searched and questioned the suspect. Akbar then took the police to the home of his accomplice, Wali Mohammad Reeki, in the desert region of Baluchistan province. Here, the mummy in question along with the coffin was found. Reeki admitted to buying the artifact from a man named Sharif Shah Bakhi. This person told him that the body was discovered after an earthquake near Quetta, on the border between Iran and Afghanistan. Two men are arrested for smuggling antiquities, but the mystery of the mummy has only just begun. If it is true “Princess of Persia”, this will be a very important discovery, because no mummies of the Persians (present-day Iran) have been found. The mummy was brought to the National Museum in Karachi for experts to analyze and many mysteries surrounding this ancient man were revealed. The body was mummified in the Egyptian style, with a mask and a golden crown, placed on a reed mat. But the most interesting find was a breastplate covering the mummy’s chest, on which the ancient Persian inscription, “I am the daughter of the great king Xerxes. Mazereka protects me. I am Rhodugune.” In addition, the gilded wooden coffin is also decorated with carved lines also in ancient Persian letters. It all seems to show that this is indeed the Princess of Persia. Pakistani archaeologist, Ahmad Hasan Dani, of Islamabad’s Quaid-e-Azam University, excitedly announced in a press conference that, from what was recorded, the mummy was indeed a Ba princess. Tu, lived around 600 BC. This event sparked a dispute between Iran and Pakistan over the ownership of this unprecedented archaeological find. The Iranian Cultural Heritage Organization declared the “princess” to be a member of the royal family of Persia and demanded that Pakistan return the mummy, and even the Taliban movement in Afghanistan claimed it was their own artifact. Unexpected truth Mummy “Princess of Persia” in coffin. The fierce arguments between the parties have become a political problem, easily leading to conflicts. Meanwhile, some other archaeologists have raised doubts that this is the “Princess of Persia”, even a mummy. An independent examination was conducted and the archaeologists went from surprise to surprise. First of all, ancient linguists found that the writing on the mummy’s breast shield and the coffin was written by someone who was not fluent in the ancient Persian language, rife with grammatical errors, and even traces of pencil marks for inscriptions, which pencils were only invented in the 16th century. In addition, a piece of coffin was examined, it was only about 250 years old, and the carpet underneath the body was discovered to be only… 5 years old. Unusual signs were also found in the body of the “princess”, such as the delicate tendons and ligaments of the middle ear that were still intact, despite thousands of years and the mummification process. did not follow the strict methods of Egypt. For example, the heart was removed, which the Egyptians never did, as it was considered important to regenerate a person’s body when they went to the next world. Multiple CAT scans (computerized axial tomography), accelerated mass spectrometry dating, radiocarbon testing, and X-ray scans all proved this to be a hoax. delicate. In the end, scientists determined, there is no “Princess of Persia”, but this is the body of a 16-year-old girl, who may have died in 1996, not 600 BC. Not only that, there is evidence that the girl was murdered for this fraudulent purpose. Experts also discovered that the “mummy” had died from trauma caused by the force of the impact, which broke her cervical and back vertebrae. Her organs were removed, her body cavity filled with table salt and baking soda, a fake embalming process. All of this was likely done within 24 hours of her death. From an antiquities smuggling case to a murder case. It is said that a group of fake antiquities traders brutally killed this poor girl, or at least stole her body shortly after her death, to be processed into a donkey mummy. sell for money. However, although the police questioned everyone involved in the sale of the mummy, as well as several other suspects, it led to nothing. In the end, not only was no one arrested in connection with this young woman’s death, but the victim was also not identified. She languished in museums for a while, before being buried in 2008 by the Pakistan-based charity Edhi Foundation. Although she was finally laid to rest, she remained anonymous, unclaimed, and the cause of death was not clear, forever referred to simply as “Princess of Persia”.

Posts by artists have the same content. Recently, the personal Facebook page of many famous Vietnamese artists posted articles with identical content, related to electronic money investment activities. These posts gradually create “fever”, attracting hundreds of thousands of interactions and shares. However, after only a few hours, the posts were simultaneously deleted without any official explanation from the artist. Before the move of some artists, there are many opinions that this is just a disguised media trick. Specifically, the crypto developer hires public influencers (KOLs) to post relevant content to add excitement to the community of crypto holders. On Vietnamese showbiz groups and forums, many accounts expressed frustration at the artists’ actions.

The first sign of these projects is a huge profit commitment, cover loss and fire-fighting. Normally, the project operates on a Ponzi scheme, paying the first to the next. Therefore, the higher the profit is, the faster the project will collapse. Besides, scam crypto projects are usually only listed on small or start-up exchanges. These projects often do not publicize or forge information about the development team, blockchain platform, roadmap and whitepaper.

Once short video appeared, it quickly occupied the market. According to statistics, as of December 2020, the number of short video users in China was 873 million, an increase of 100 million from March 2020, accounting for 88.3% of the total Internet users.

Due to the popularity of short videos, leading platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou have a large amount of traffic every day, and traffic means more opportunities to make money. Compared with many people’s usual browsing of various information, they will see all kinds of vibrato, quick-hand-like and part-time and earn money advertisements when they scan Moments, listen to books, and scan Weibo. “You can do it with a mobile phone. Slogans such as “videos can make money”, “like it and earn some pocket money”, and other slogans continue to appear in our daily lives.

Recently, CCTV exposed a likes scam again. The woman gave a thumbs up and lost 300,000 yuan . This can’t help making people think. Scams about likes and scams are not uncommon, but many people are still deceived.

In fact, these scams for ordering and liking are all used Human weakness Come to cheat, and they all have certain routines. At the beginning, first pass Advertising makes people a little like the perception that they can make money Although this amount of money is not a lot, for some students or some moms, free time is relatively sufficient, and most people can’t resist the temptation to earn some pocket money through part-time jobs.

After that, by pulling you into the group, posting the task, the settlement will be settled for you soon when the task is completed, which will make people feel very Professional, reliable and trustworthy Yes, but this is obviously a way to put a long line to catch big fish.Finally, implement a series of scams and ask you Pay, pay training fees, buy members …

With the rise of short video, it has derived a variety of monetization methods, such as traffic monetization, official subsidies, advertising monetization, e-commerce delivery of goods, live broadcast rewards, platform signing, knowledge payment, IP derivatives, sales account monetization, etc., and so on. It is diverse.

We can choose these formal official channels to do part-time jobs and earn pocket money. At first glance, like the likes and orders, there is no technicality at all, and it is so easy to make money. Obviously, it is not reliable. There is no such thing as a pie in the world .

Such an “opportunity” makes parents anxious again. If you don’t pay, I’m worried that I missed such a great opportunity to get a certificate and extra points. If I pay, I’m worried that this is a money trap. There is no need to worry about such a thing, as long as there is one criterion: a essay contest that can be awarded with money must be a scam. In the face of the staff of the training institutions who have exhausted their skills, knowledgeable parents may wish to ask, “I have won awards for my essays. Why don’t I have to give you money?”

The formal “Ye Shengtao Cup” National New Composition Competition for Middle School Students is a competition reviewed and approved by the Ministry of Education. Award-winning high school students have the opportunity to be admitted by the university, which has a high gold content.and The Shanzhai “Ye Sheng Tao Cup”, which can be bought for prizes, is of no use other than satisfying a little vanity. Before deciding to participate in such a composition contest, parents should keep their eyes open and learn to distinguish, and don’t spend wronged money. The “leeks” that are regarded as ignorant are harvested again.

If Ye Shengtao knows the underground, he will probably be so angry that the coffin board will be overwhelmed by the copycat version of the composition contest named after him. Turning the composition contest into a money transaction is the biggest disrespect for Mr. Ye Shengtao, Mr. Ye’s descendants. As well as related institutions, it should be severely investigated and punished resolutely to defend the reputation of this famous writer and educator.

In December 2019, the official “Ye Sheng Tao Cup” took the copycat version of the “Ye Sheng Tao Cup” host company to the court, and the defendant was asked to immediately stop using the name that is only one word away from the official game. It is very funny that after the infringing party changed the participant from “national elementary and middle school students” to “Chinese teenagers”, the competition was held again. Although the one-word difference has become the five-character difference, the core keyword “Ye Shengtao Cup” is impressive. Strictly speaking, this is a contempt for the original composition contest organizer and the court’s decision.

According to parents’ feedback, the copycat version of “Ye Shengtao Cup” still made some risk aversion actions. For example, a series of seemingly rigorous selection rules were conducted on the official website. Apart from emphasizing and implying its “advantages”, there is no “guarantee”. However, on the contest essay page circulated on the Internet, it can be clearly seen that it has authorized some training institutions as “provincial event hosting rights planning rights and other rights authorized by the organizing committee”, which indicates that, The “black box operation” of this copycat essay competition was planned and systematic from the beginning. Professional lawyers believe that such an approach “may constitute fraud for parents and students.”

However, it is such a fake competition that has the possibility of “fraud”, and it has been conducted 31 times. Among them, it is unknown how many parents have paid. If it is useless to buy such an award, then the parents’ money will be lost. If buying such an award is useful, it means that the organizer has penetrated into the relevant educational institutions and has formed an invisible infringement on the normal educational body. Whether it is useless or useful, such copycat competitions and spending money on awards should no longer have room for survival.

For the copycat essay competition, it is impossible for parents to be able to identify them one by one and resolutely ignore them. In many cases, parents are easily deceived by rhetoric, and the parent group does not have enough recognition ability to identify which essay competition is formal or informal. The reason why the copycat composition contest cannot be removed like dog skin plaster is because the punishment is too light to form a deterrent effect; the second is that it is not taken seriously, thinking that this kind of thing is not harmful. It is recommended that relevant departments be deeply involved in the investigation, If an award sells for tens of thousands of yuan, it might as well determine whether the company’s income is legal or not. If it is suspected of fraud to a certain amount, it might as well be severely punished in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, so as not to let them continue to pollute education.

Recently, a model called“Sunshine Orchard”The mobile phone application software of “Subscribe for fruit trees and get profits” is favored by some users.According to the mobile application, it costs 9900 yuan to subscribe for 100 fruit trees, and at least 160,000 yuan can be obtained in one year.But in fact, the application software is nothing more than a tree-planting software called “Porcelain”. It is a “funding disk” combined with Internet gimmicks through MLM and other means.

Packaging fruits into tradable virtual currency

Pull heads to induce users to enter the game

The rules of “Sunshine Orchard” are very simple. Users can purchase fruit trees after downloading the App. The life span of the fruit tree is one year.An ordinary fruit tree sells for 100 yuan, 3 kilograms of fruit per day can be collected, and 1.5 yuan per kilogram of fruit can be sold. The output of different fruit trees is also different, the higher the investment, the greater the output.The daily output of a golden fruit tree of 300 yuan is 10 kilograms, and the daily output of a diamond fruit tree of 388 yuan is 15 kilograms.

After the user downloads the App, real-name authentication is required, and then the system will give the user a fruit tree with a period of 7 days. According to the relevant publisher, “This fruit tree can produce 3 kg of fruit per day, and the fruit can be sold. It feels very fun. You can explore it. It’s very simple.”

Investors can sell the fruits after harvesting, but they can withdraw cash only after the account amount has accumulated to 100 yuan. From this calculation,The annualized rate of return of an ordinary fruit tree exceeds 1600%, while the annualized rate of return of a 388 yuan drilled fruit tree exceeds 2100%.

In addition, users can “pull heads” through the development of offline, and collect “head fees” layer by layer.

User: I knew it was a scam, but I was lucky

In fact, the designer of “Sunshine Orchard” will not let participants get any benefits. Earlier this month, “Sunshine Orchard” shut down the app and ran away with money.

Upon inquiry, Guangzhou Baiguoyuan Information Technology Co., Ltd., the operator of “Sunshine Orchard”, could no longer be contacted.The company also collided with the well-known fruit brand “Biguoyuan”, and the Beguoyuan Group stated in a statement on the 12th that it has no connection with Guangzhou Baiguoyuan..

Mr. Li, who has participated in such games, said that he knew that the company would run away, but he did not expect to run so fast.Although not reconciled, he admitted that when he saw such a high benefit, he muttered in his heart, evenI realized that it might be a scam, but I was lucky. I just didn’t expect that I would become the last wave of “leeks”, and blame myself for being greedy.

Expert: a typical Ponzi scheme

Victims can file a civil lawsuit

Investigator Ye Hanxiang of Quanshan Branch of Public Security Bureau of Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, has uncovered such cases. He said that similar virtual currency and virtual product pyramid schemes have basically the same characteristics:Use the money of the later entrants to make up for the income of the former entrants.In order to speed up the “return” speed, users have to “pull offline.” The so-called currency value and purchase price are all controlled by traders at will.

Consumer finance expert Su Xiaorui told reporters that the formal supervision of capital-related software is very strict, and they are generally licensed to operate.And this kind of problematic software generally does not have any financial supervision.

Han Xiao, a lawyer at Beijing Kangda Law Firm, pointed out that “Sunshine Orchard” has established a virtual mining model platform to attract public investment and encourage investors to pull new investors into the platform.Judging from its basic operating model with no actual operating products, clear organizational hierarchy, and the need to develop offline, it is a typical “Ponzi scheme” financial trap.

Han Xiao also stated that once an illegal fund-raising behavior violates the criminal law and constitutes an illegal fund-raising crime, it should also bear civil liability for violating the mandatory provisions of the law. In the criminal procedure, according to the “Guiding Opinions on Sentencing of Common Crimes of the Supreme People’s Court”, in the criminal procedure, the criminal perpetrator has the initiative to return the stolen goods and refund the compensation, and investors can make up for some of the losses.For the part involving civil liability, after the criminal procedure is over, investors can file a civil lawsuit based on their own losses.

Final review: Feng Yan

In January this year, Chenghua District Bureau of Chengdu Public Security Bureau uncovered a new type of telecom network fraud under the guise of “members rate reservations for hotels nationwide.”

According to Xinhua News Agency, at the end of December 2020, Mr. Lu, a Chengdu citizen, booked a four-night room in a hotel in Shanghai through a seller who provided hotel reservation services on the Xianyu platform. The seller stated that the original price for the four nights was 5,000 yuan. It only costs 3300 yuan to book through him. After taking the photo, Mr. Lu provided the occupant’s information to the other party and contacted the hotel for verification. After confirming that it was correct, he clicked to confirm receipt. But when Mr. Lu went to Shanghai to check in, he was informed by the front desk of the hotel that the order had been cancelled. Mr. Lu tried to contact the seller again and found that he was blackmailed by the other party, and then realized that he had been cheated.

According to the “Statistical Report on National Star-rated Hotels in the Fourth Quarter of 2020” issued by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, there are 9,717 star-rated hotels in the national star-rated hotel statistical management system in the fourth quarter of 2020, including 2,552 four-star hotels. There are 850 five-star hotels, accounting for 26.3% and 8.7% respectively. In addition, the average price of five-star hotels is as high as 523.27 yuan, and the average occupancy rate is 53.96%. Higher prices and vacancy rates have made some crooks smell business opportunities.

Jiemian News combed through the information on Black Cat Complaints, Zhihu, Weibo and other platforms and found that there are currently two main complaints from consumers about the reservation service of Xianyu Hotel. The first is Mr. Lu mentioned in the above report. In that way, the full payment was paid to the seller on Xianyu before the check-in, and the seller deducted the payment by himself and contacted the hotel to cancel the order. As a result, the consumer found that there was no room available when he arrived at the hotel.

Another situation is that consumers did not pay the room fee to the seller of Xianyu, but only paid a certain reservation fee, and the corresponding room fee was paid directly to the hotel upon check-in. Some of these consumers did pay the seller on behalf of the hotel. The booking was successfully checked in, but some orders were recognized as illegal operations by the hotel and could not be checked in.

The experience of a consumer on Weibo falls into this category. The consumer stated in his post that he had purchased the Conrad Hangzhou Hotel at a low price for two nights through the booking service, but he was questioned by the front desk when he checked in. “I followed the instructions provided by the seller to check in, but the hotel front desk said that I had encountered travelers cheating to check in with the same words before, which caused us to be very embarrassed, and finally failed to check in. We tried to find after being rejected by the hotel The seller claimed for the reservation fee, but found that it had been blocked by the seller.” The consumer wrote on Weibo.

So, where do the low-priced houses on the Xianyu platform come from? And why is there such a situation that “some passengers successfully checked in, while others failed to check in”?

“We will have some hotel sales agents on hand to sell us the negotiated price listings.” A seller who provides hotel reservation services on Xianyu revealed to the interface news. “After the buyer has provided the information, we will generally send the buyer a fake electronic version of the corporate name tag, or send the agreement number of the corresponding company to the buyer, so that the buyer will print it and show it to the hotel front desk when checking in. “The seller said so.

It is understood that the negotiated price means that some hotel sales agents specially sign an agreement with a large company or individual to agree that when the company’s guests or employees stay in the hotel, they can enjoy a preferential price. In this way, the hotel guarantees a certain occupancy rate and keeps the vacancy rate within a reasonable limit. It is generally lower than the listed price of the hotel. Some big companies such as Alibaba, JPMorgan Chase, IBM, etc. will sign an agreement with five-star hotels.

Take the Ritz-Carlton Nanjing as an example. During the period of 4.12-4.13, the price for ordinary travelers to stay in the hotel’s deluxe room is 1430 yuan, while the price for the same room type using Alibaba’s negotiated price is 1287 yuan. This one night produced a price difference of nearly 150 yuan.

The price difference of superior room types is even more disparity. Also on this night, the price for ordinary travelers to stay in a premium suite was 3480 yuan, while Alibaba’s negotiated price was only 3001 yuan, and the difference was nearly 500 yuan. This is not difficult to explain why most sellers on Xianyu provide reservation services only for top-level rooms such as executive suites or prestigious suites, and the resulting profit difference can be seen.

However, tourists staying in hotels through fraudulent use of negotiated prices are essentially an encroachment on the interests of the hotel. Xia Zifan, chief consultant of Lausanne Hotel Agency, said that the current hotel’s negotiated price leakage exists. If consumers book at the negotiated price, they must report the agreement number to the front desk when they check in. This is a common practice in hotels. However, it is inevitable that some unprofessional front desk staff did not identify well. This is also the reason that “some passengers will check in successfully, and some are told not to check in” mentioned above.

“This is actually a’risky activity’. Once the fraudulent agreement price is discovered by the front desk, you will definitely not be able to check in, and personal credibility will be affected. When I sell, I will inform the buyer that there is a risk of not being able to check in successfully, but As far as I know, other people rarely do this.” The above-mentioned idle fish seller told the interface reporter.

Xia Zifan also told Jiemian News: “It is still recommended that consumers book hotels through formal channels to avoid being unable to check in at that time.”

It is worth noting that the lack of qualification review of sellers on Xianyu platform and the inefficiency of handling user complaints have also caused dissatisfaction among some consumers.

A user posted on the Black Cat Complaint Platform that she saw a low-cost hotel booking on Xianyu platform called “Xia Chao’s Weightlifting Doll” on February 21, and she subsequently ordered it from the seller Orders. After contacting the hotel to confirm the information, she clicked to receive the goods, but then the hotel contacted her to pay again at the front desk. The user immediately filed a complaint to Xianyu’s official after realizing that she was deceived, but she found that the seller’s goods were still listed on the platform the day after she complained. “Xianyu platform has been allowing him to deceive without taking any measures.” The consumer wrote in the post.

Jiemian News tried to contact Xianyu regarding this incident, but has not received a response as of press time.
