[00:00:23] In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, I greet you, dear and
[00:00:26] esteemed viewers. Eight
[00:00:30] Arab and Islamic countries condemned the actions of the Zionist regime in the
[00:00:34] Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Qatar, Jordan,
[00:00:38] UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, in a
[00:00:41] statement, considered the violation of the ceasefire and the aggression of the Zionist regime in the
[00:00:45] Gaza Strip as undermining the agreement. These countries
[00:00:49] also rejected any attempts to annex Palestinian territories in the
[00:00:52] West Bank to occupied areas and plans for forced displacement
[00:00:56] of Palestinians, and called on the United Nations Security Council
[00:01:00] to compel the Zionist regime to adhere to its obligations.
[00:01:03] Hundreds
[00:01:07] of people demonstrated in Berlin, the capital of Germany, in support
[00:01:11] of the Palestinian people. Demonstrators, carrying Palestinian flags
[00:01:14] and placards condemning the atrocities in Gaza, chanted
[00:01:17] slogans in support of the Palestinian
[00:01:21] Intifada. Pro-Palestinian
[00:01:24] activists in Mexico also, during a demonstration,
[00:01:27] expressed solidarity with the people of Gaza. They burned the flag
[00:01:31] of the Zionist regime and demanded the severance of relations with this regime.
[00:01:34] A member
[00:01:38] of the political bureau of the Ansar Allah movement in Yemen announced
[00:01:42] that Riyadh's stubbornness in continuing the oppressive siege of Yemen will ultimately lead
[00:01:45] it to destruction. Nizam al-Aswad
[00:01:49] wrote on social media that the brave Yemeni nation is determined to fully
[00:01:52] regain its rights, and the least costly way for the Saudi
[00:01:56] enemy is to respond positively to the legitimate demands of the Yemeni people,
[00:02:00] meaning the lifting of the siege and the cessation of interference in Yemen's
[00:02:04] internal affairs. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Yemeni government
[00:02:07] also announced in a warning message to Saudi Arabia
[00:02:11] that the Saudi regime's rush to escalate tensions will be met
[00:02:15] with a comprehensive response that it will not be able to bear the consequences
[00:02:18] of. The Yemeni armed forces, within the framework of the Saudi
[00:02:21] siege equation, targeted two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea.
[00:02:25] According to data from the shipping tracking
[00:02:28] company Kpler, on Wednesday, only one ship passed
[00:02:32] through the Bab al-Mandab Strait.
[00:02:34] Shipping
[00:02:37] data indicates a significant decrease in vessel traffic
[00:02:40] in the two strategic passages of the Strait of Hormuz
[00:02:43] and Bab al-Mandab. According to data from the Iranian tracking
[00:02:47] company Kpler, on Wednesday, only two vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz,
[00:02:51] while this number was 8 the day before. Also,
[00:02:55] in the Bab al-Mandab Strait, only one ship
[00:02:58] passed, while yesterday, 20 vessels traveled
[00:03:02] through this route. The Yemeni armed forces announced on Wednesday
[00:03:06] that they targeted two Saudi oil tankers off the coast
[00:03:09] of Yanbu port in the Red Sea, as well as in the Gulf
[00:03:12] of Aden, with missiles. The Yemeni armed forces,
[00:03:16] since last month, in response to the siege of Yemen by Saudi Arabia,
[00:03:19] have started a naval blockade of ships linked to Saudi Arabia
[00:03:23] in the Red Sea. The acting
[00:03:25] Minister
[00:03:28] of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics emphasized that Iran's indigenous
[00:03:32] technology is superior to any imported system in the region.
[00:03:36] General Ibn al-Reza said: Every day,
[00:03:40] the signs of the enemy's weakening power become clearer, but the hands of our
[00:03:43] armed forces, relying on the country's defense industry, are full
[00:03:47] for responding to any threat. The acting
[00:03:50] Minister of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics added: Those who today seek to buy
[00:03:54] security and imported military superiority will soon realize
[00:03:57] that Iran's indigenous technology is superior to
[00:04:01] any system in the region.
[00:04:03] Last
[00:04:05] night, the people of Tehran province's cities, by gathering in the
[00:04:09] streets and squares, became a roaring wave and sang
[00:04:13] the epic of unity, integrity, and devotion to Velayat.
[00:04:16] O Ali, chant!
[00:04:18] O Ali, chant! Take
[00:04:22] the fervor, take the fervor of the
[00:04:25] world, take hold of the flag.
[00:04:28] The cities
[00:04:36] of Tehran province, to the most strategic prehistoric
[00:04:39] place in the world, have become one of hundreds of roaring waves,
[00:04:42] whose narrators, in 158 street
[00:04:45] gatherings, also emphasized the continuation of seeking revenge
[00:04:48] and resistance. We will never abandon each other.
[00:04:51] We have always stood by the armed forces. One who relies on
[00:04:55] God Almighty, seeks intercession from the pure Imams, and is devoted
[00:04:58] to Velayat.
[00:05:32] People also spoke of Iran's upper hand
[00:05:35] and emphasized devotion to Velayat for final victory over
[00:05:39] international terrorism. With
[00:05:45] our presence in the streets, they understand that our nation is
[00:05:49] united and
[00:05:51] all together. Certainly, the upper
[00:05:55] hand is with these people who have faith.
[00:05:58] The people and officials must maintain their unity
[00:06:01] around the axis of Velayat.
[00:06:02] You
[00:06:06] are the one who,
[00:06:08] without excuse,
[00:06:42] has paid improper medical amounts. According to this
[00:06:46] report, while Facebook rules prohibit monetizing content
[00:06:49] related to hate speech, sensitive social issues, and medical
[00:06:53] misinformation, a number of these accounts still benefit from the social network's
[00:06:57] special revenue program. This news network,
[00:07:00] citing media experts and individualists, considered Facebook's
[00:07:04] monetization model to be a factor encouraging the production
[00:07:07] of controversial content, known as "anger bait."
[00:07:10] Content that, by provoking users, generates more
[00:07:14] interaction and ultimately brings more revenue
[00:07:18] for producers. The
[00:07:22] Central Bank, by issuing a directive, extended the use
[00:07:25] of financial instruments for health-oriented importers to supply
[00:07:29] imported medicines and medical equipment until the end of 1405.
[00:07:33] Based on this, companies importing medicines and medical
[00:07:36] equipment, if approved by the Ministry of Health, Treatment, and Medical
[00:07:39] Education, can use the mechanism of financial
[00:07:42] instruments for long-term credit. The goal of this
[00:07:46] action is to help provide working capital for importing
[00:07:50] companies and facilitate the import of essential health
[00:07:53] items. Thank
[00:07:57] you for staying with the news channel. Fraud
[00:08:33] can happen to anyone. It happens
[00:08:35] to everyone, and it doesn't matter
[00:08:39] how smart we are.
[00:08:43] The majority of people, whether educated
[00:08:46] or wealthy, have fallen victim.
[00:09:01] Yahalo fought hard for his freedom. This 30-year-old
[00:09:05] man was an executive assistant who was lured to Bangkok
[00:09:09] with a job offer. But it was a
[00:09:11] trap. He witnessed the events and managed to smuggle hundreds
[00:09:15] of internal documents out of the scam center.
[00:09:18] You
[00:09:22] know, when they crossed me over the border and took me to one
[00:09:25] of their scam
[00:09:26] centers inside
[00:09:29] میانمار.
[00:09:34] After being transferred from Thailand to Myanmar, he was held captive
[00:09:38] by the mafia for 7 months. But
[00:09:41] during all this time, he managed to secretly take photos
[00:09:44] from his prison.
[00:09:51] I was standing in the camp center and looking outside.
[00:09:54] It was full of barbed wire and
[00:09:57] fences. A little further away, I saw
[00:10:01] armed guards there who were watching me.
[00:10:05] No one could get past that confinement and somehow
[00:10:08] escape the camp. Well, I said to myself, what am I
[00:10:12] really doing here?
[00:10:16] He
[00:10:19] didn't know whether to escape or resist.
[00:10:21] They
[00:10:33] would either punish me or torture me or
[00:10:36] sell me to others. That's why I had
[00:10:40] completely lost my confidence and was defeated.
[00:10:43] I was not made for such conditions. In the first
[00:10:47] few days, he was trained on how
[00:10:51] to deceive people. He
[00:10:55] remembered various rooms.
[00:10:57] In one of the rooms, new user
[00:11:01] accounts were created, photos were added, and fake
[00:11:05] backgrounds were made for people.
[00:11:07] Trafficked victims, under strict
[00:11:10] supervision, were forced to contact their targets.
[00:11:14] To escape that job, Yahalo
[00:11:18] offered to do accounting for this gang. His documents
[00:11:22] show that this criminal organization scammed almost 4 million
[00:11:25] dollars from victims. It's
[00:11:28] really like a factory. You have an operations department
[00:11:32] that handles daily tasks. There's also a development
[00:11:36] team that looks for new opportunities.
[00:11:38] For example, photos of young
[00:11:42] women are purchased from criminal Telegram channels or
[00:11:46] simply copied from these influencers' pages.
[00:11:48] However,
[00:11:51] Yahalo's whistleblowing activities were discovered,
[00:11:55] and he was tortured. I actually spent 18 days in a torture
[00:11:59] chamber. Honestly, I don't remember
[00:12:02] how many times I was really beaten
[00:12:05] there. Towards the end of this period, he was tortured
[00:12:08] with electric shocks. The mafia sent
[00:12:11] this video to his parents. They paid
[00:12:14] $39,000 in ransom, and after 7 months, he was
[00:12:18] released.
[00:12:28] Since then, Yahalo's mission has been to raise
[00:12:32] awareness, collect evidence, and expose the people
[00:12:36] behind this scam network. One name keeps
[00:12:39] recurring: Wang Kok Kok,
[00:12:42] nicknamed Broken Tooth, one of the most famous and violent
[00:12:45] criminals in the world, who was released after 14 years of imprisonment
[00:12:49] for murder and bombing in 2012. He then
[00:12:53] expanded his activities beyond the borders. He has now
[00:12:57] become one of the masterminds and main investors of scam
[00:13:01] networks in Myanmar. These
[00:13:04] videos
[00:13:05] were secretly
[00:13:13] taken from the border town of Myawaddy.
[00:13:16] Most of the scam centers are located
[00:13:19] here.
[00:13:20] People
[00:13:35] usually imagine that these people walk around with dark
[00:13:39] sunglasses and carry guns, but in reality, they are traders. Honestly,
[00:13:42] they deliberately present themselves as traders and usually
[00:13:46] talk about investments.
[00:13:47] A view
[00:13:53] of the neighboring camp.
[00:14:01] He invested in this area. These are proud photos taken during the opening.
[00:14:05] Initially, the plan was to convert the buildings into a recreational
[00:14:08] complex, but during the COVID-19 pandemic,
[00:14:12] it was repurposed as a scam center.
[00:14:15] In
[00:14:19] my case, Broken Tooth was a member of that group, and it can be said
[00:14:23] that he had a share in the complex,
[00:14:27] or at least was the cause of that complex. Yes,
[00:14:31] that's exactly the definition I can provide.
[00:14:35] His new photos and videos are easily shared online
[00:14:38] to gain more power and fame.
[00:14:41] In these images, he is with another high-ranking
[00:14:45] member of the scam gang at an airport in Laos. Newspapers
[00:14:49] cannot reach Wang Kok Kui. Meanwhile, the business
[00:14:52] of scam centers, we think its profit
[00:14:56] is equal to drug trafficking.
[00:14:59] Drug trafficking in Southeast Asia and
[00:15:02] East Asia has an annual turnover of 60 to 80 billion dollars.
[00:15:06] We estimate that scamming is also around
[00:15:10] this figure.
[00:15:11] Images
[00:15:14] extracted from social media show Broken Tooth at the beginning
[00:15:18] of the year, paragliding and partying in Laos.
[00:15:21] Despite sanctions and international investigations,
[00:15:24] he appears completely free and confident.
[00:15:28] The chef from Africa was imprisoned
[00:15:31] in Myanmar for four months. He was
[00:15:34] a victim of repeated violence and awaited an opportunity
[00:15:38] to escape.
[00:15:40] Until one day, a glimmer of hope appeared to escape
[00:15:44] this hell. He says he hid among the bamboo
[00:15:48] and ran through the fields at full speed, but they pursued
[00:15:51] him.
[00:15:57] First of all, I was running to save my life. Then, hoping to see my family,
[00:16:01] I didn't look back.
[00:16:04] I don't know where the energy came
[00:16:07] from, but I ran with all
[00:16:10] my might.
[00:16:14] He managed to cross the river by swimming and go
[00:16:17] to Thailand. He had been forcibly imprisoned. But he
[00:16:21] had participated in scamming ordinary people, and now he had to convince
[00:16:24] the Thai police that he himself was a victim. Gee Kritian
[00:16:28] helped him with this. I have a lot of respect for Gee,
[00:16:32] because when I was losing hope, when I was about to
[00:16:35] give up, when
[00:19:07] specializes
[00:19:08] in.
[00:19:14] This gang is very organized. They really work systematically
[00:19:18] and calculatedly. As they say, there is a perfect murder; here,
[00:19:22] we are seeing a perfect scam, and we are exactly facing
[00:19:25] this issue right now. The people who do this are trained.
[00:19:29] Their work is structured and organized. Always,
[00:19:32] day and night, a scammer is awake to keep the victim engaged.
[00:19:35] They contact them, calls.
[00:19:45] It turns out that there is a whole network behind this scam,
[00:19:49] very professional and organized. Thomas W.'s money
[00:19:52] was first deposited into a Bitcoin account and then
[00:19:56] distributed and transferred to other accounts. Two
[00:19:59] experts are trying to trace this path. They have previously
[00:20:03] been able to find the perpetrators of the scam through this.
[00:20:06] What immediately caught my attention is
[00:20:10] how professionally this group operated. They invested a lot of money and worked
[00:20:13] on a large scale. If we take another look at this case,
[00:20:17] we see that these people are still active and dynamic.
[00:20:21] The trail leads to various Bitcoin accounts whose
[00:20:25] owners are anonymous. From here on, it is the responsibility of the
[00:20:28] relevant authorities to investigate. A reverse image
[00:20:32] search reveals more information. The LinkedIn profile
[00:20:36] of the person who played the role of Jane appears several
[00:20:39] times under the names Esma, Mori, Evangeline, and Lucy.
[00:20:42] This photo belongs to an amateur model.
[00:20:46] The agency based in Bangkok is also unreachable.
[00:21:20] we were lying about our jobs. My role
[00:21:23] was a businesswoman. She
[00:21:26] now lives with her family in Nairobi.
[00:21:29] She
[00:21:33] still remembers how she was used to scam people.
[00:21:37] We
[00:21:38] didn't
[00:21:42] directly tell them that we were wealthy women, but we
[00:21:46] portrayed ourselves that way. We showed them pictures
[00:21:49] that showed we had a luxurious life and important
[00:21:53] business meetings.
[00:21:57] Artificial intelligence helped
[00:21:59] her.
[00:22:05] If you don't know how to chat like a woman,
[00:22:08] you
[00:22:11] can ask ChatGPT how to attract
[00:22:15] a man's attention. And since
[00:22:18] I myself am a man and I know what I want from a woman,
[00:22:22] I just needed to do
[00:22:25] the same.
[00:22:28] We are seeing more and more that artificial intelligence is being used
[00:22:31] to carry out these scams, and you can sit here
[00:22:35] in Southeast Asia and actually target victims all over the
[00:22:39] world with no real limitations. Anyone
[00:22:43] can fall victim to these scams. That's why this problem
[00:22:46] is so serious and has spread so quickly.
[00:23:50] Friends reacted very well to this and the matter ended
[00:23:54] well. I said it was very brave of me to say
[00:23:58] that. They respected me a lot. A friend told
[00:24:01] me that exactly the same thing had happened
[00:24:04] to him.
[00:24:08] In Munich, Thomas W. is still waiting for the result
[00:24:12] 6 months after filing his complaint.
[00:24:13] Just
[00:24:16] imagine that in Germany it took all this time, and the case
[00:24:20] is still unresolved. It seems Germany
[00:24:24] is giving scammers a green light to come and extort money
[00:24:27] from people, because it takes months or years for the prosecutor's
[00:24:31] office here in Germany to take action.
[00:24:33] It
[00:24:36] must be said that the regulations we have are not really
[00:24:39] defined for cryptocurrencies. This case is not definable
[00:24:43] within
[00:24:43] our scope of work and laws.
[00:24:47] In response to our question, the German Federal Ministry of
[00:24:51] Justice said that they do not see a need for reforms and that the current
[00:24:55] law is sufficient. Cryptocurrencies are currently
[00:24:58] confiscable, but in practice, this is difficult. In this
[00:25:02] area that we are talking about now, I must say that
[00:25:05] online investment scams are the well-known
[00:25:09] "pig butchering" scam. Unfortunately,
[00:25:12] we are witnessing a serious increase in the
[00:25:16] number of such cases, but the main problem is elsewhere. Victims.
[00:25:50] As much as I can, but the issue is not just the victims.
[00:25:53] The discussion is about reducing the number of scam victims
[00:25:57] worldwide, which is beneficial for everyone.
[00:26:00] We must work with
[00:27:02] Brothers always have financial interests. We want to understand
[00:27:06] how they choose their audience and how they obtain this financial
[00:27:10] information. What types of accounts does the money go into? For example,
[00:27:13] do they use PayPal or which cryptocurrency
[00:27:17] do they trade? If we understand how they get the money, we can
[00:27:20] track and freeze these accounts.
[00:27:24] They practice conversations with artificial intelligence. This
[00:27:28] software has chatted with hundreds of scammers so far and each
[00:27:31] time has been able to obtain
[00:27:54] information. Stopping the scam, or at least
[00:27:58] curbing it, is their
[00:27:59] mission.
[00:28:03] I want justice to be served and to take revenge.
[00:28:06] There are many innocent people, whether victims
[00:28:10] of scams or victims of human trafficking,
[00:28:14] who can truly be saved. It is my
[00:28:18] duty to do this so that they can be saved.
[00:28:20] I was in
[00:28:24] a very bad state. Every morning when I woke up and
[00:28:28] knew I was going to scam people, I felt very.
[00:28:52] Online scams and scammers' tricks are the only effective tools to fight them.
[00:28:55] I am artificial intelligence and I have unlimited
[00:28:59] time.
[00:30:24] In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Hello, esteemed viewers. The Economist
[00:30:27] magazine wrote that the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf have concluded
[00:30:31] that the US military approach has failed to ensure the security
[00:30:34] of the Strait of Hormuz, and an agreement with Iran is the most realistic
[00:30:37] option to manage this crisis. The magazine writes that the US
[00:30:41] military operations have not only failed to fully reopen the Strait
[00:30:45] of Hormuz, but also demonstrate the failure of military pressure
[00:30:49] to achieve US objectives. According to this report, the plan
[00:30:53] of Arab countries to create alternative routes is also unable
[00:30:56] to eliminate the strategic role of the Strait of Hormuz. The
[00:30:59] Economist emphasizes that even with the completion of alternative projects.
