It covers telemarketing fraud, advanced fee schemes like Nigerian letter scams and lottery scams, work from home scams, and romance scams. The key advice is to be skeptical of unsolicited offers, never send money or personal information to strangers, research companies independently, and talk to a trusted advisor before engaging in any financial activities with unknown parties.
The document discusses the lottery scam, also known as the Jamaican lottery scam or 876 area code scam. It begins with victims receiving unsolicited notifications that they have won a large prize or lottery. Scammers then demand money for fees like taxes or shipping before the victim can receive their winnings. The scammers prefer payment through money transfer services like Western Union or Green Dot cards. Victims never receive any winnings and are often targeted by additional scams after being initially victimized. The lottery scam is estimated to generate $300 million annually and is linked to hundreds of murders in Jamaica where many of the scams originate from.
Financial exploitation of vulnerable adults, particularly elders, is a widespread problem. It can take many forms, such as misappropriating assets, charging excessive fees, fraud, or scams. Perpetrators are often acquaintances or relatives of the victim and exploit their trust. Reported cases represent only a fraction of the actual number, as many cases likely go unreported. It is important for elders to protect their personal information and be wary of giving money or property to anyone without proper legal protections.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
