Pornographic Ads Proliferate on TikTok
Many TikTok users report frequently encountering offensive ad videos, some even soliciting prostitution. Clicking the links attached to these ads redirects users to prostitution brokerage groups on Telegram.
Initially, administrators send several provocative images of different girls for users to choose from. Simultaneously, users receive a detailed price list for sexual services, with costs ranging from 1 to 5 million VND.
However, to use the service, users need to register as club members. According to the ads, members receive benefits such as a 50% discount on service fees, the ability to book appointments in any area, or pay after using the service.
In reality, these are all sophisticated scams meticulously orchestrated to defraud victims of their assets.
Pi Network Price Recovers
According to CoinMarketCap data, Pi Network’s price increased from 0.2 USD to nearly 0.3 USD on the afternoon of October 27. This almost 50% growth made many investors happy, believing the project had revived.
However, Pi Network could not maintain its growth momentum as the cryptocurrency was immediately “dumped.” By the evening of November 1, the cryptocurrency was trading around 0.25 USD.
“The short-term ‘pump and dump’ of Pi Network clearly indicates price manipulation. This price manipulation often appears in some memecoins (joke cryptocurrencies) to create short-term appeal for the project and profit from it,” shared Mr. Tran Ngoc, an experienced crypto investor.
