The scammer asked the victim to allow remote computer access, then collected sensitive information to borrow large sums of money in his name. Victims are harassed and threatened hundreds of times to continue investing. Two men used to come to his house to get more money. A representative from Nottingham Police said it was investigating the incident. Bitcoin investment scams are happening more and more as the pandemic breaks out.

That’s not surprising because many people assume that most of life will take place on a computer or phone… More Internet usage means more scammers have a great opportunity to reach victims We recommend anyone who wants to invest to do their own research first, check every detail before transferring money or sharing personal information… Guys Scammers often put up ads that look professional and trustworthy, with pictures of celebrities that make people think it’s a legitimate investment,” Beach said. A Nottingham police representative advised people to double-check information if invited to invest via call, email or social media. The warning from Nottingham comes after British authorities launched a new campaign, urging people to be on the lookout for investment offers, to report immediately if there are signs of fraud. In May, a woman in the UK was scammed more than $12,000 after reading an article titled “Tesla buys $1.5 billion in Bitcoin, plans to give away $750 million worth of Bitcoin” on the BBC. fake. The article urges readers to send a Bitcoin to an e-wallet, after which “Mr. Musk” will double the amount. After sending over $12,000 worth of Bitcoins with no response, this woman realized she had been scammed. She said this is the money saved to buy a new house. How harmful is Bitcoin to the environment? To mine Bitcoin, one needs a lot of miners that work 24/7. The carbon footprint of Bitcoin mining is equivalent to Argentina’s entire carbon footprint.

I am extremely confused and even stuck. There are things I hear, I can’t imagine how people can deduce to that extent. In this mess, what hurt you the most? I was most shocked that Cuong’s message to his fan was real. At first, I thought it was a collage, photoshop to bring me down. But when Cuong admitted that his son used to say that, I was in pain. I was hurt by the feeling of being betrayed because of a misunderstanding in the family. Out of all the bad comments about me in the past few days, what makes you feel the most unjust? It seems that people are researching, inferring and also having distorted things about me according to what they want to hear. At the age of 23, I began to focus on volunteer work and also experienced many emotions because of the reputation. People told me to borrow the name charity to polish myself. I was so frustrated, so I sometimes told myself, stop putting it away, “eat at home, carry the prison and general goods”, no one borrows the body and mind like this. But, later, when I calmed down, I said that “pleasing people is both hard and stupid”. So I decided to do what I felt was necessary. The most unfortunate is probably the story of money that Cuong’s parents asked to keep, but now I’m being told about it. Not only Cuong’s parents, it was Cuong who asked me to keep the money for him. On the day Cuong was awarded the prize money, Cuong’s mother received it. My manager at that time said that Cuong’s parents brought money to his hometown to repair the house and if there was a shortage, he would give more, but Mr. Muoi and Ms. Thu (Cuong’s parents – PV) all said they asked their managers to help. In recent days, the poor family of Ho Van Cuong’s family and the image of a shabby house in the countryside, shared from the sister who sells bottles of adopted children, have flooded the newspapers. Next to her, what did Ho Van Cuong’s parents say? Yesterday, the press also directly interviewed Cuong’s father and mother. The story of Cuong’s family, I do not share anymore and they will have their own thoughts and decisions. What era is this when terrible lies can still exist like I imprisoned the whole Cuong family. Ho Van Cuong’s father’s job is to manage the work at a vegetarian restaurant owned by Phi Nhung, but he keeps being told that he works as a security guard and receives a monthly salary of 10 million. While Ho Van Cuong’s mother helped take care of the children and adopted Phi Nhung, including the grandson of Ho Van Cuong’s parents, the two sisters were told to stay and live. That day, I also wanted to pick up my sister Cuong to live with my parents and younger brother, but after 3 months she wanted to go back to her hometown to get married. How do you and your team think about publicizing Ho Van Cuong’s income and expenses during the past time to whitewash himself? We are considering the date of handing over all the money to Cuong and he will realize his dream of becoming independent. Maybe, that day will take place when Cuong finishes his exam. In fact, Cuong’s parents and manager have always exchanged and held numbers. She once shared that each management company has its own rules, so she doesn’t know much about salary, but her manager shared with the press that, between management, she and Ho Van Cuong are not important. The show’s election system is family relations. What do you explain about this? There is really a familial relationship between us, not calculating the details like the usual activities between a singer and an entertainment company. I say that each company has its own principle that every singer – the company has a satisfactory contract agreement that is acceptable to both parties. But Cuong and me or the company did not have that contract. We treat each other like children of the same family. However, what I dare to affirm, Cuong’s money I do not touch. On the day I give the money back to Cuong, I will give all the money I have. The entire cost of making music products that I have invested in so far, of course, I take care of my children. I adopted Cuong as my son with the promise of a good education and now I am close to fulfilling my promise. What do you think when there is an opinion that the singer does not know his salary, for the management to completely decide the revenue and expenditure is unreasonable? Everyone has an opinion, but I don’t want money to affect my feelings of making art. Of course, I don’t leave everything to others, but I certainly don’t meddle in accounting matters. I work professionally and the balance between my revenue and expenditure budget and the whole company is done by the accountant. Of course, when needed, everything is clearly documented. Over the years, how have you taught and invested in Ho Van Cuong? – Cuong has a desire to sing professionally after graduating from university and that’s what I’m very happy about because I know Cuong’s talent. I also want her to have a professional career, focus on her profession and take her profession seriously. That’s why, when I have free time, I take Cuong to sing to learn, get acquainted with the stage and from colleagues. I also invest in products for Cuong seriously to conquer the audience. What do you think about the public act of criticizing Ho Van Cuong and bringing his adopted child to public opinion a few months ago? It is a wrong act as an adult and a mother. The online world is not as simple as I thought it would be. After that, Cuong and I also talked and everything was cleared up. How do your biological and adopted children encourage you in the midst of this controversy? – “Don’t be sad, we understand you”, they can only say that, but they don’t know how to help you. But, I’m still sad. Everything is on me. I was wrong about asking the online community to teach my children when they are naughty. I simply thought, I hope the online community helps me tell Cuong not to be bad, not to be stubborn anymore. But I was wrong. Many people attacked Cuong and that made Cuong angry. On her fanpage, she still shares her positive energy when regularly exercising, mobilizing people to wear masks when going out and giving gifts in the middle of the epidemic season. Many fans expressed concern, thinking that she was trying to pretend that she was fine. In addition to the shared moments, how do you deal with negative emotions when the market surrounds you? What I share is real. If I have done nothing wrong then there is nothing to worry or fear. When I was so angry, like when I heard Cuong admit that the message to the fan was real, I was very angry. But at that time, I looked at the image of the Buddha of Concern to find peace of mind. I know that in order to solve external problems, you must first solve your own mind. That’s how I deal with negativity.
