Apps/Sites to earn daily? - The TRUTH

Have you received any messages stating that you have won a brand new smartphone or laptop and to receive it all you need to do is to share with several people. Today many fake messages, websites, applications marching against the users with greed. I'm gonna give few examples of some of them and some tips to identify fake.


Money earning Apps/Websites

Several applications are floating on the internet to make users invest their money or to share their personal data or you refer more people to lose money, in the worst case all of them. Users should understand that Money is not free. One example of this power bank application was available on the play store for a period of time. A similar application that I noticed is the Shared Power Bank application which is available on powerbank website. They comment that a user just needs to download the App and he'll earn up to Rs. 1000/- daily.

They're claiming on their website that Shared power mobile is the largest mobile power leasing company in India with 50M (LOL) equipment purchases and their product is used to charge the mobile phones in public places for money. On the features page, they used an image of a power bank that belongs to a smartphone brand. They've mentioned a YouTube video link that actually belongs to Plugo. Also, most of the product images lack clarity, most of them seem to belong to Plugo and Spykke  They mentioned that their service is available on Airport, restaurant, cinema, railway stations, malls except public restrooms. 

Reply from Spykke support

On another page, they stated that they've partnered with Spykke, which is actually a power bank rental service. If you visited Spykke and Plugo recently, you would have noticed a pop-up disclaimer warning users beware that fraudulent companies are misleading consumers on power bank investment schemes. Further, I asked Spykke support to confirm powerbank365 is a fraud, they replied with the warning not to fall in this SCAM and they have no association with this kind of investment which is highly expected.  

This is more than enough to confirm Shared power bank application is FAKE, and there're similar apps like Shared BK, Black Stone, Sun factory, Tesla power bank, and many more. All these applications are mostly fake shopping, lottery, fake trading etc., All they need is nothing but your MONEY. They may keep their promise for initial users, but there's no guarantee that everyone can earn through them.

Fake messages in telegram Channels/Groups

some of the fraud messages on channels

Since Telegram Channels/Groups is powerful enough to connect a lot of people, some of the channel admins, either themselves or by someone's guidance post fake website links claiming that users can earn a lot of money daily for free. These admins also post some random money transfer details as proof (which should never be trusted). Also, there're channels to buy products that were bought using carding, customs. Never ever believe such messages you notice on Telegram, use Telegram only to have conversations with friends and family. 

Always check if the

     1. website/app looks professional like Powerbank Spykke. 
     2. company is registered from MCA
     3. contact details are present on the site. 
     4. Information of Owner is present.
     5.  Social media pages look genuine.

Conclusion

Earning from someone's loss is not good, so don't share such sites to earn rewards. Many people have given up their money to such sites, and still giving up. Each time when an app/site gets blocked new app pops in with a new name, they won't stop until they get caught, so don't wait every time for someone to confirm that it is FAKE. I strongly suggest being safe by avoiding such apps/sites by keeping in mind that no one will give you money for free. 

Comment if you had come across any such apps/websites and your experience with such apps/sites (if any).

    Update: Now it seems like Powerbank site is down which is highly expected as in most of cases these sites won't last more than few months. This is good, but definitely there is gonna be a similar site with similar info, these kind of scam won't stop until everyone is aware of it.

India is the world's second-largest smartphone market, Apple is one of the world's largest smartphone brands. But Apple is struggling so much to gain the market share in India. So the problem is with India or with Apple? Let's look at it.  Indian Poverty It is said that in India an average of 63,000 people is getting out of poverty every day.

Piracy. That's telegram?

  You might have heard the tagline "Privacy. That's iPhone". But today the worst-case scenario of piracy is given by the tagline "Piracy. That's telegram". Usually while publically publishing the illegal acts, there is a huge possibility that more people would get into those actions. But we need to publish this article since almost every one of us doing the same illegal thing (intentionally or non-intentionally). PIRACY      Piracy actually refers to the act of robbery or criminal violence that happens in sea transports, with their end goal as stealing valuable items (which don't belong to them).                           But in the current period, the external profile of this word has changed. The Internet has a dual effect on the world. As the downloading and uploading speeds increase over time, the rate of online piracy is increasing every day. Piracy, unfortunately, happens in every field. Soft...

Here's what under your display : LCD vs OLED

Of course, you might have heard that OLEDs are the great one can opt for.  We're not gonna say ' hey, that's not the case'.   Instead, let's look at the reason with some detail. Introduction        We encounter displays everywhere in our daily life. May it be Smartphones, Television, Laptops, Computers, Smart Watches and in many areas. Normally a good display should have better colour accuracy, better viewing angles and better brightness though. What makes a display better in these areas. Let's look at it Comparison      In LCDs we are looking at the light which is created at the backmost portion of the display, then the light passes through a variety of colour filters. So, this is how it works in case of LCD. Whereas in the case of LEDs, it is just the same but for the backlighting, we use the LEDs. So yeah, LEDs are also a kind of an LCDs there's no argument there. But there is something special about OLEDs. Why so. Because the differe...
