Online Scamming Unveiled: Navigating the Web of Deceit with Common Sense

Once upon a time, when our rural folks ventured down south to the Indian town of Jaigaon, the whole village would give them warnings: "Guard your bag, watch for pickpockets, check your purchases twice, haggle for half-price, don't flaunt your money!" But despite all these precautions, stories of being deceived and swindled still trickled back home. Safety was never guaranteed amidst the bustling crowd, teeming with con artists of varying expertise.

Now, let's fast forward to the era of smartphones and social media. We find ourselves exposed to a vast, intricate world far grander than Jaigaon. In this sprawling digital landscape, you don't even need to step outside your home to fall prey to con artists. The tales of online scams and their bitter consequences have become all too familiar.

I've personally met victims of online scams and heard their harrowing tales. I've even managed to rescue a few from the brink of becoming victims. Listening to their accounts, it becomes painfully clear how easily they could have spotted the tell-tale signs, had they only been more aware.

These scammers are not just lone individuals; they're often organized groups or companies that have fine-tuned their strategy. Casting a wide net, they hope to reel in those of us who might be a tad more unsuspecting. After all, they need willing participants to make their schemes work. They employ an array of tactics, preying on our lack of awareness or moments of vulnerability. They need our cooperation to execute their plans; without our unwitting assistance, they're powerless. Despite their grand schemes, they're not the hacking masterminds that can breach your social or bank accounts. If they were truly that skilled, they wouldn't waste their efforts on us; they'd have their sights set on bigger fish.

So, let's agree on this: let's not help them steal from us;

How many times have you heard someone lament about their Facebook or WeChat account being hacked? The truth is, it's not a walk in the park for scammers to pull off unless you've taken the bait on a phishing site. A phishing site is like a mirage of a legitimate website – it imitates well-known brands, organizations, or services, all with the intention of deceiving you into divulging sensitive information like usernames, passwords, credit card details, and OTP. Those links forwarded to you via messengers promising gifts, prizes, scholarships – don't fall for them. You must have seen a phony UNICEF subsidy link being shared these days; you can make out from the unrelated web address. If you've clicked on such a link and followed their prompts, you've unwittingly compromised your data. Just know this: they're not executing hard-core hacking; they're capitalizing on our naivety.

Once they've infiltrated your account, they'll use it to message your contacts, seeking money. Their tales are well-rehearsed, playing on urgency. "I'm traveling and lost all my money. Can you urgently send me some cash?" And in your desire to help, your friends and family who trust you might be tricked into parting with their money.

My sister-in-law experienced this first-hand last year. Urgently, she transferred Nu.15000 to an unknown account based on a message from a geog accountant she knew from work. A simple phone call could have spared her this ordeal. The rule of thumb? Never send money solely based on online messages. Make a call to confirm. And if the account name doesn't match the person requesting the money, that's a red flag that should prompt you to pick up the phone.

Lottery scams have ensnared many Bhutanese. Scammers will message or call you, announcing with great fanfare, "Congratulations, you've won 25 Lakhs!" Here's the reality check: there's no such thing as winning a lottery you didn't buy a ticket for. Period. But the lure of big figures blinds people, leading them right into the trap. They end up shelling out fees upon fees to claim their supposed prize money. A friend who worked at a remote school even travelled to Bajo seeking my assistance to send Nu.10,000 as GST to claim his Rs.25 Lakhs prize. It took quite a bit of explaining to convince him that he was being scammed.

Recently, a new kind of scam has reared its head – fake crypto investment schemes that promise to double your returns within hours or days. Cases like this have even made it to the news, as reported by Kuensel. But here's the thing: investments don't double overnight; it's a tale too good to be true. If you're considering investing in digital assets, go through trusted entities.

Among the oldest and most prevalent scams is catfishing. Individuals craft fake personas using stolen photos and information to portray themselves as attractive, successful individuals. They use these personas to establish relationships with unsuspecting victims. I once knew a woman who sent Nu.36,000 to release a supposed parcel containing a diamond ring and iPhone that was stranded at Delhi Airport. She believed her boyfriend, who was supposedly on a ship and unable to access his bank. The truth emerged when she requested Nu.60,000 from me to resend the parcel. A quick Google search shattered her dreams of a dashing boyfriend and diamond ring.

But I was powerless when it came to helping a relative who had been duped out of millions of Ngultrum by a woman he believed was a business partner for a hotel venture in Bhutan. The scammers had expertly manipulated him into thinking he'd struck gold with a wealthy investor. He ended up sending large sums of money, even borrowing from his office and friends, all for supposed paperwork and more.

The bottom line? You can't have a legitimate relationship of any kind, let alone send money, without having met the person face-to-face. A simple video call could save you a world of pain.

Benefits of Tashi Cell’s Internet-Leased Line

The internet need of every sector is different, and a personal hotspot is not apt to power an office. The speed of mobile data connectivity is different during peak usage. Today, businesses rely heavily on a good internet connection for a smooth and profitable day-to-day operation. Even for the most minor tech-reliant companies, sending an email can constitute a significant part of their communication. Online activities such as sharing files on clouds such as Google Drives are other modes of work that we cannot do without. 

What happens during downtime at work? 
Loss of focus, frustration and straying from your current project. And the rabbit hole of endless scrolls through Instagram. According to an Information Technology Consulting Corporation report, more prominent firms can lose up to $100,000 in revenue by a single hour of internet outage. 

Hence, using an internet leased line is one of the best options to solve the inconvenience of unreliable connectivity. 

What is a leased line?
Simply put, a leased line is a dedicated internet access with a fixed bandwidth. 

They are characterized by 
1.	Symmetry: Download and upload speeds are the same
2.	Uncontended: The connections cannot be shared with others 
3.	Point to point: They connect two points, Internet Service Provider (ISP) to business 

   
 Why Tashicell’s Internet Leased Line?

Using other forms of internet connection is still an option. However, regarding reliability, a leased line would never have troubles such as fluctuating speed during peak time. Unlike other connections, speed does not depend on the network traffic and the distance of your business from the ISP. 
Tashicell’s leased line services are one of the most efficient in the market today. From installation to reasonably priced equipment, you can rely on our fast-paced services to get the work done. 

My experience
My office mates and I used Tashicell’s 3 Mbs leased line connection initially. Even with half a dozen users, the Wi-Fi speed was never affected. However, when the number of users decreased, we switched to 2 Mbs and still, the speed and reliability were unaltered. The internet divided among individual users is still relatively cheaper than individual data plans. Moreover, having a Wi-Fi connection with fixed bandwidth in your office is a lot of relief, as you can always rest assured that no crucial emails or virtual meetings can be missed. 
During the lockdown, when we worked from home and relied on mobile data, all the perks of a reliable connection were lost. The internet speed was slow at peak hours, and most virtual meetings were affected. I had to refresh the page constantly to keep tabs on essential emails. Further, while researching for a project, mobile data costs skyrocketed due to many tabs opened on the browser. 
The Wi-Fi connections due to leased lines are only ever down if for genuine reasons. Even during the rare times when the internet is down, maintenance and repair is only a phone call away. 

So what are you waiting for?

Call Tashicell’s customer care today at 7700 to inquire about all their leased line plans and take advantage of the fully assisted set-up and installation service.

eTeeru as a tool of convenience for Travel Vlogger

Before eTeeru,  one of the TashiCell digital payments platforms launched on 6th April 2020 in the country, I used to use another payment gateway from several banking institutions upon my convenience and most preferably whichever saving account had more bank balance to mainly recharge, transfer money and to pay utility bills, especially the electricity bill. 

However after the launch of eTeeru, I downloaded the app to especially recharge because the users needn’t wait for a special occasion for the bumper bonus offer. Every time we recharge from e-Teeru, users get a 10% BONUS. The other reason I downloaded the eTeeru app is that users can also use the app for banking services to transfer cash into the integrated wallet via online banking or even by depositing money via authorized eTeeru agents. 

As a traveller, I usually go cashless because I feel safe when I do not have cash, and even if I get lost, kind Bhutanese people would wholeheartedly host me, so the thought of carrying cash is usually the secondary to-do-thing on my list. Having said that, sometimes, If I really need money, nowadays you find eTeeru agents in nook and canny of the places in Bhutan. A small grocery shop in remote Panbang can facilitate cash withdrawal or purchase things using online banking. Moreover, users can use eTeeru to scan and pay to any bank. For those interested in using eTeeru for remittance, it can receive money from other eTeeru users too.

Besides, eTeeru stores money for the users to pay for groceries, restaurants, pharmacies, and even taxis without using cash. I love the fact that petrol pumps also accept online payment through the eTeeru app. You can also pay Post-paid and Internet Leased Line bills without going to the nearby Tashicell office. 
You can download the eTeeru app on IOS and Android from the Play Store. Registering is way more straightforward; you only need an active Tashicell number. If you are reading this blog, you are a Tashicell user; all you need to do is download the app and start reaping benefits and bonuses from the app.

iPhones at the best deal!

Did you know that TashiCell is not only a reseller of Samsung phones but also iPhones? Premium phones manufactured by Apple are now available from the TashiCell counter. Embrace the power, innovation, and limitless possibilities that an iPhone brings to your daily life. 

I have been using iPhone since the 7 series. The reason why I choose the iPhone over hundreds of different brands of smartphones and gadgets is because of several reasons. 
Apple's iconic iPhone, in particular, is renowned for the quality of its camera for shooting both video and still images. iPhone delivers the best camera experience on a smartphone. And the camera just keeps getting better. Apple's iPhone boasts some of the best camera hardware of any mobile device. 

And I totally agree with that. If not photography, videography is the best for any smartphone, but iPhone uses sleek and stabilized cameras. And the photos and videos captured always turn out surprisingly good. All the content and videos I post on my social media platforms are shot on my iPhone. 

Most importantly, in this uncertain world of digital goods, iPhone provides some of the best security options. Unlike many other phones, essential data on your iPhone is encrypted from the start, then protected by your passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID. Apple apps like Maps and Safari help keep private all the places and sites you visit. Apple will not sell your information to anyone for any reason. And easy-to-install software updates help protect your device and data from security threats.

The other reason why I use iPhone is because of device compatibility. Since I use a MacBook Pro, it's easier to sync or send documents from iPhone to Mac. Plus, iOS phones are very friendly in downloading apps from the apple store. Users can easily find Bhutanese apps on the apple store, including MyTashiCell App, which I recommend you all download (if you are a Tashi Cell user). 

I look forward to purchasing the next latest series of iPhones from TashiCell Counter (touchwood). I hope you drop by to check out the series of both iPhone and Samsung at the Tashi Cell counter because If you purchase iPhone from the TashiCell counter, they have attractive offers available for the phones purchased from TashiCell counters:

1. FREE eSIM
2. 19170MB (Diamond Package) every month for 6 months
3. 20W original Apple adaptor
4. Phone cover
5. Screen protector

Top 5 Tips for Minimizing Data Usage

As smartphones become essential for social and daily life, phone data usage concerns many. We all want to reduce our data usage to avoid incurring extra fees, improve battery life and have value for the money we pay for data plans. 
Do you ever dread the text from your carrier about using up all your data? It’s low-key lousy news, right? So, let’s discuss some tips to prevent your phone from using too much data and avoid the dreaded text from your network provider. 

1.	Use Wi-Fi whenever you can 
Simply put, if you use the Wi-Fi, your phone won’t eat away your wireless data for your internet access. Wi-Fi usually has unlimited internet or costs less than mobile data. Even in Bhutan, many places have free Wi-Fi, such as offices, hotels, airports and coffee shops. So, don’t be shy to ask for the passwords, and use the first 15 seconds to connect with Wi-Fi. Then, you can scroll through Instagram and TikTok without worrying about hitting your data cap. TashiCell has some great offers on 4G and 5G Wi-Fi routers for your home and office, so call today at 7700 to learn more. 
However, take caution in sharing your Wi-Fi passwords. Sharing passwords with people you don’t trust could risk security issues.

2.	Avoid downloads and updates on your phone.
Save the download and updates on your phone until you are connected to Wi-Fi. Updating and downloading use a lot of data, and that’s one reason why you might be hitting that data cap very soon. You can go to the setting on any phone and choose Wi-Fi for all app updates and downloads. iPhone users can also ignore the prompts to update to a new iOS until they are connected to Wi-Fi. 

3.	Turn off autoplay on your video app.
In many apps like YouTube, video autoplay options are turned on by default. And many people don’t know that it can be turned off. Imagine the videos playing non-stop while the phone is lying idle. This would be a surefire way to use much of your precious data. To prevent it, on YouTube, go to settings and turn off the autoplay from the option. Similarly, you can do this for other social media apps too. 

4.	Cancel your apps after using them. 
How often do you close your apps completely? Leaving apps running in the background can still use data and your phone battery, contributing to your worries about over-using data. You don’t have to do it every time you are done using an app, but you’d be surprised how many of them are running in the background. That’s why some social media apps have new content and videos already loaded when you open them. Both Android and iPhone have simple steps to close all your apps. 

5.	Go for offline GPS maps. 
While travelling, the navigation app is one of the reasons why your phone data are still used up, even though you are barely checking your newsfeeds. They can suck a lot of data. A smart move would be to download the map after you search the location and load all the street names. On Android, you could hit the download in the toolbar. On iPhones, you can see the location saved automatically after you go offline.

On top of high speed mobile network, 5G is also expected to revolutionize and strengthen e-Health such as remote surveillance, telemedicine, telesurgeries etc. 
However, recently there have been claims of 5G having adverse health-related concerns. 
According to the WHO, to date, and after much research, no adverse health effects have been causally linked to wireless technologies. Common health-related conclusions are drawn from the studies performed across the entire radio spectrum, but so far, only a few studies have been carried out at the frequencies to be used by 5G. 


**What is 5G?**

5G, or fifth generation, first widely deployed in 2019, is the latest wireless mobile phone technology. 5G is expected to possess speed and performance ten times faster than 4G networks. 5G is not very different from previous networks, such as 3G and 4G. The only difference with 5G is that we would be exposed to something called **millimetre waves** for the first time. 


**Millimetre waves**

Both mobile phones and telecom antennas emit non-ionising electromagnetic radiation and the same are also emitted by microwave ovens and power lines. On the other hand, ionising radiation includes X-rays and nuclear radiation, which has proven harmful effect on human health. Millimetre waves are also non-ionising radiation, and all that is known is that they don't penetrate the skin like other lower-frequency waves currently being used. More research is needed to find out about millimetre waves, and till then, like all new technology, we can only partially rule out millimeter wave’s adverse effects on human health. 


**What are the existing effects on health?**

Interestingly, studies showing that exposure to electromagnetic radiation can be carcinogenic also put aloe Vera leaves in the same category, and the research place the workers in barber shops exposed to hairdressers' chemicals in a higher risk category.
Thousands of scientific research has proven that there are no health risks from exposure to low levels of radio frequency EMF from cell phones, antennas and 5G devices. The only adverse health effects that can occur at levels of EMF higher than permissible are:
1. Tissue heating, such as skin warming 
2. Nerve stimulation, which can result in a tingling sensation in your skin. 

These effects depend on a combination of the following:
1. The intensity of radiotherapy EMF exposure 
2. How long you are exposed to radiofrequency EMF 
3. The distance of your body from the source of radiofrequency EMF

For instance, the electromagnetic field emitted is much higher by cell phone towers and antennas than by your cell phones. So the exposure to high-level radiation is considerably lower since the locations of the towers and antennas are usually on rooftops and at points far away from a cell phone user. Despite the science that proves that 5G has no harmful effects, for your peace of mind, you can reduce exposure to electromagnetic radiation by: 

1. Texting instead of calling 
2. Using hands-free devices such as Bluetooth headphones
3. Limiting the length of cellphones calls 
4. Making phone calls from a location with good network connections 

So, is 5G harmful to human health? The answer is not entirely a no; researchers say it's complicated. Although many social media claims have pointed to research confirming the harmful effect of 5G on human health, none meet the criteria required to establish the scientific evidence for adverse health effects. The existing studies point to no adverse harmful effects of low-frequency EMF. Since 5G is a new technology, there still needs to be more research to rule out any health concerns completely.

Is 5G harmful to human health?  

In 1999 when Bhutan introduced internet, we were among the last countries to join. However, today, the nation stands at the forefront of the global technological revolution as one of the early adopters of 5G, thanks to TashiCell's launch in December 2021. This deliberate and calculated leap has paved the way for Bhutan's digital future, recognizing the significance of a robust digital infrastructure in sustainable development in the 21st century.

**Unleashing Opportunities for Innovation and Progress:**

By embracing 5G connectivity, Bhutan has established the foundation for a technologically advanced ecosystem that empowers businesses, fosters innovation, and enhances public services. With 5G, Bhutan opens door to countless opportunities for economic growth, social progress, and environmental sustainability. From e-commerce and telemedicine to smart agriculture and efficient energy management, the benefits of 5G connectivity span various sectors, propelling Bhutan's journey towards a prosperous future.

**Transformative Advancements Enabled by 5G:**

With download speeds reaching up to 10 gigabits per second, 5G offers instantaneous data transfer, enabling seamless activities such as streaming high-definition videos, downloading large files, and conducting buffer-free video conferences. Moreover, the remarkably low latency of 5G networks reduces data travel time, making it essential for real-time applications like autonomous vehicles, remote surgeries, and immersive virtual reality experiences.

**Empowering the Internet of Things:**

5G's potential extends to the realm of the Internet of Things (IoT), allowing for a vast network of connected devices in Bhutan. This opens the door for smart homes, smart cities, and industries to leverage real-time data analytics, optimizing resource allocation, improving traffic flow, and enabling efficient energy management. With the scale and speed offered by 5G connectivity, transformative advancements become possible in multiple sectors, including healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, and entertainment.

**Youth and Entrepreneurial Opportunities:**

The youth of Bhutan are a driving force for change and progress, and the adoption of 5G unlocks a gateway for them to harness the power of emerging technologies and seize unprecedented opportunities. Lightning-fast internet speeds, seamless connectivity, and enhanced access to online platforms empower Bhutanese youth to explore diverse pursuits such as content creation, professional gaming, app development, and social media influencing. By embracing 5G, Bhutan ensures that its youth can cultivate entrepreneurship, unleash their creativity, and actively contribute to the nation's growth as visionary architects of the country's digital future.

**Preserving Cultural Heritage:**

5G technology offers Bhutan unique opportunities to preserve its cultural heritage and promote its richness on a global stage. By leveraging digital platforms, Bhutan can showcase its traditions, customs, and intangible heritage to a worldwide audience. Virtual experiences powered by 5G enable individuals from around the world to engage with Bhutanese culture, participate in virtual tours of historical sites, and immerse themselves in the country's festivals and traditions. 

Online storytelling becomes a powerful tool, allowing Bhutanese storytellers to share their narratives and folklore with a broader audience, ensuring the vibrant cultural identity of Bhutan remains intact in the digital age. Additionally, 5G facilitates digital collaborations, enabling Bhutanese artisans, musicians, and researchers to collaborate with peers worldwide, preserving traditional arts and crafts while embracing the benefits of digital innovation.

**Promoting Sustainable Tourism:**

The devastating impact of the pandemic and increased sustainable development fees (SDF) has severely impacted Bhutan's tourism industry making the potential of 5G technology even more critical in its revival. Bhutan can revolutionize the way it promotes tourism through real-time communication, personalized travel experiences, and immersive virtual experiences to captivate potential travellers and allowing them to explore the country's majestic landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and vibrant festivals from anywhere in the world. 

Bhutan can reach a global audience and position itself as a must-visit destination by showcasing its unique charm and environmentally conscious practices, in a more impactful and interactive manner, ensuring that its message resonates and inspires travellers to experience the beauty and authenticity of Bhutan first-hand.

Bhutan's Technological Leap: Embracing the Power of 5G Connectivity

In the realm of digital banking, Bhutan stands out among its neighbors, having embraced the concept ahead of the curve. While some countries still rely on cash and others have transitioned to cards, Bhutan skipped the card phase entirely. While mobile banking has made significant strides, there's another player in the market that deserves your attention: eTeeru. Following are three compelling reasons why eTeeru is worth considering alongside your mobile banking app.


**1. Enhanced Security:**

With eTeeru, you gain an additional layer of security to safeguard your finances. Losing your phone or compromising your password doesn't have to result in a catastrophic loss. eTeeru acts as a protective barrier, limiting potential damage. Even if your eTeeru wallet is compromised, the amount of money at risk is confined to what's stored within the wallet. On the other hand, mobile banking apps establish a direct connection to your bank account, potentially exposing your entire savings in the event of a security breach. Choosing eTeeru adds an extra level of protection, giving you peace of mind.


**2. Empowering Financial Management for Children:**

eTeeru offers a unique advantage by allowing you to create an account without the need for a traditional bank account. This digital wallet app encompasses all the features found in mobile banking apps, including merchant payments, mobile recharges, bill payments, and even money transfers. It's an ideal solution for parents who want to introduce their children to digital banking and finance management without the requirement of a bank account. 


**3. Reliability during Banking System Downtime:**

As we increasingly rely on mobile banking and digital wallet apps, carrying cash has become less common. However, there are instances when the banking system experiences technical issues, leaving us in an awkward situation when we're unable to make payments using our banking apps. This inconvenience can be avoided by having eTeeru as a backup option. Unlike mobile banking apps, eTeeru operates independently of banks, ensuring that you can still make transactions even when the banking system is down. By having eTeeru at your disposal, you can confidently complete your purchases and enjoy a seamless payment experience. It can save your face especially when you have finished eating at a restaurant and banking app doesn’t work. 


While mobile banking apps have undoubtedly revolutionized financial transactions, eTeeru offers distinct advantages that make it a valuable addition to your digital payment arsenal. Its enhanced security measures protect your finances, its flexibility enables children to engage in financial management, and its independence from the banking system ensures uninterrupted transactions. Therefore, it’s worth considering eTeeru alongside your mobile banking app for a comprehensive and secure digital banking experience, if you haven’t done it yet.
