Regime – The perfect word to describe the way online scammers put their power into. It all looks like a coveted military operation.

These types of threats and spams are most likely to increase in number as we rely more on technology, but what matters is how do we trust and “Is what we see original ?“. This one question will at least save your identity from being stolen.
