In a world where digital transactions dominate, falling prey to a scam can be a severe blow, both financially and emotionally.
The thought of being deceived by unscrupulous criminals can incite rage in the calmest of individuals. Statistics reveal that over 95% of Australians encounter scams via telephone, text, and internet each year.
Even more shocking is the amount pilfered by these fraudsters, which topped three billion dollars last year.
However, as reported by Amelia Adams on 60 MINUTES, there is finally a silver lining on the horizon. A significant counteroffensive is taking shape, aiming to transform Australia from a soft target into an impervious bastion against scams.
For nearly a quarter of a century, Vladimir Putin has reigned unchallenged as Russia’s strongman, his authority rarely, if ever, questioned. But last weekend, a sudden stumble exposed a hint of weakness in Putin’s otherwise iron rule. The threat comes from Yevgeny Prigozhin, arguably a figure even more formidable and fearsome than Putin himself.
Prigozhin, who leads the Wagner group, commands the ruthless mercenaries assisting Russian forces in their unlawful war against Ukraine. His challenge to Putin has not only rattled the Kremlin but also sparked global concern about his potential next steps and their implications.
