The Other Side The Afghan people were humble Those who would take off our shoes from our feet, polish them well, and neatly place them back in front of us
Those who would remove the garbage from our neighborhoods and dispose of it
Those who would boil chickpeas and serve them with spices to our children
Those who would set up fruit stalls in our markets to earn a living
Those who would sell simple clothes and shoes at low prices, calling out to sell shoes worth a thousand for five hundred or seven hundred according to our wishes
Our front-row worshippers in the mosques. ❤
Those who promote the culture of caps and burqas in our environment and society
Those standing with shopping bags and miswak in our markets
Those who dig the foundations of our houses
Those who cut wood by running saws in our fields
Those waiting at crossroads with pickaxes and shovels for labor
Those who sell plastic utensils loaded on motorcycles in our villages
Those who earn their living by calling out to buy dry bread in exchange for iron
Those who prepare and serve us flaky parathas and intoxicating tea
Those who introduced us to fish style, triangle style, honey, butter, chocolate, pizza, and potato # Those who introduced us to minced meat parathas and fed us #afghanistan $BNB
I received a text message stating that my two-factor authentication was sent to a new mobile, and if I didn't do this, I should call the given phone number. Since the message appeared to be from Binance and I was tired, I called without thinking. The number was from France.
On the phone, they asked me when I last withdrew money, which platform it was on, and whether I had any funds in my account. I thought these were security questions to verify that I was the actual owner. So I answered those questions. However, I did not provide any sensitive information (like passwords or codes).
Now my concern is that they have verified my phone number. Am I in danger? I feel like more fraudulent calls will come. Can they misuse the information I provided or my voice? Or will I have to pay the bill for this call?
I feel very foolish; I consider myself quite tech-savvy, I should have checked.

You did not provide sensitive information (passwords, codes, etc.), which is the most important thing. They cannot hack your account with just your voice or general information (like when the last withdrawal occurred). Yes, now that they have your number, more scam calls may come.

Fourteen years ago today, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, sent his last known message.
"I am now busy with other things." — this was the one line after which Satoshi's direct contact ended forever.
No desire for fame, no apparent farewell. Just a simple message that sparked a global financial revolution.
Today, Bitcoin is among the top 5 most valuable assets in the world. Satoshi's identity remains a mystery today — but their legacy lives on in every block. #satoshiNakamato $BTC
Someone tried to deceive me and said they were from Binance! 🤣
A text message came in saying, "Here is your login code (for two-factor authentication)... if it wasn't you trying to log in, press 1." I hadn't used Binance for almost a year, so I pressed 1. Then immediately a call came from a very polite British man, he said they had stopped someone's login attempt. The whole process seemed quite impressive and genuine. Then he asked, "Do you use any other exchanges?" I said "Coinbase," and he says, "Can you tell me your current balance?" I thought, "Why?" and asked, "What do you need to know that for?" He says that Binance and Coinbase are third-party providers, so they work together.
I said, "Okay, then I'll talk to Coinbase myself if there's an issue." Then he says, "I'll connect you with the one from Coinbase." I said, "Look, I know enough about this industry that Coinbase and Binance don't work together like that." After that, there was a long silence... then he says, "Just send me your crypto, brother!" (laughing) and hangs up the call! 🤣 #scamriskwarning #ScamAwareness

Important Notice (PSA): Beware of scammers on Tinder and other dating apps
I want to warn you all that scammers are active on Tinder. There are profiles with pictures of Asian women that seem to be between the ages of 20 and 30. These women, after a few initial conversations, give you a WhatsApp number to talk (often a UK phone number).
After a few days of chatting, they talk about a "new investment opportunity." They mention a new crypto coin called: "Huawei 5G Joint Bluesky Biomedical Defence" or simply "HWS." If you do not show immediate interest, they keep insisting a little more each time.
They take you to Binance.com (which is a legitimate crypto exchange) to buy $5000 worth of Bitcoin, which earns you a "Beta Membership." Then they transfer the BTC to a fake website called hwsex.org and convert it into HWS tokens there.
When you ask how you can convert back to Bitcoin, they say you need to invest 2 more Bitcoins first to get "Full Membership," after which you can withdraw the money — which is a scam.
If you're wondering if I fell victim to this myself? Yes, unfortunately, I lost 0.5 BTC (did not invest 2 BTC, fortunately).
I was new to Binance. I sold $630 worth of USDT to a person whose username was "24tranders". He sent approximately 2.65 lakh rupees to my two Pakistani bank accounts under three different names. Later, it was discovered that he had sent this money from the accounts of people he had hacked. The affected individuals filed a complaint with the FIA, resulting in the FIA freezing my and some other people's bank accounts — and this investigation may never end.
I have approximately 8 lakh rupees in these bank accounts, which I want to retrieve at any cost. I asked the bank who the investigating officer for this case is, but the bank has not yet received any response from the FIA.
My advice for others like me is: never engage in P2P trading with someone whose account does not have a "Verified Badge" and does not show the message "Security Amount Deposited". Additionally, the name displayed on Binance should also match the name on the bank transaction.
I have the phone numbers of the three individuals who sent me money, but they believe that I hacked their accounts by obtaining their passwords and OTPs.
