when hayao miyazaki said that true love was two people inspiring each other to live...recognizing just how hard living is, putting one foot in front of the other every day, how easy it is to lose our passion for it...... that's the real shit

Doctors are not asking for integration of alternative medicine into the standard of care. Patients are not asking for integration of alternative medicine into the standard of care. The public is not asking for integration of alternative medicine into the standard of care. The only people asking for integrative medicine are alternative medicine practitioners, their promoters and sympathizers for survival and business opportunities. The only way alternative medicine can survive into the distant future is by integration into standard medical care and these quacks know it. Don't fall for this nonsense.

Our family lost ₹5 lakhs in an online financial fraud few years ago.

It takes less than 7 seconds to execute an online transaction for a scammer. When we complained on the Cyber Crime helpline immediately, it took them 7 days to just assign the nearby police station that is walking distance from my home. I went there everyday but the officer wouldn't 'start' till the case was assigned to him.

By then, the money trail had been lost. The fraudsters had transferred money to different bank accounts (in West Bengal) and taken out cash through ATMs. It was all over before the case was even "assigned".

That is the 'law and order' situation in India in the 21st century to deal with crimes that take place in 'real time'.

Let's come to the telecos now.

Do you know any scammer can deactivate your number from anywhere? All they need is basic details like your full name, date of birth or certain digits from your Aadhaar. Data sets that are widely leaked and available.

They called Vodafone and claimed that their phone had been lost/stolen. So Vodaone does its "verification" and turns off your number. It is done so you can't receive an SMS regarding a fraudulent transaction that has been done. Else you might alert the bank. While you try to figure what suddenly happened to your SIM, everything is done within minutes.

When our number was deactivated the first time, we alerted Vodafone and told them no phone had been lost. That night, only a payee had been added (we found this out much later) and no transcation had been done. And the bank rules state a 24 hour cooling period for a newly added payee.

But it was weird enough to us that our Vodafone number had been deactivated out of nowhere in this manner.

When we spoke to Vodafone, we told them do not switch off the number if you get any such request in the future. Since we have not made it. Please confirm with an alternate number before you take any action. But the next night, the number went off again, and this time, the transcation was executed.

Vodafone didn't call the alternate number. They said this is their process. If someone calls and gives the verification detail, they have to shut the number. And that is how we lost the money. Despite telling and begging them to do one additional step since something was off.

Moral of the story: both the telcos and the police will do jackshit. You are on your own. Please please please take precautions. Enable 2FA on every mail and banking account. Especially with family members and elders who aren't that tech savvy. You have no idea how sophisticated some of the new scams are.
