'Inside The OTP Mafia' Exposes Dark Underbelly Of Transnational Cyber Crime
Most people at some point have received offers of a loan, a warning that bank cards will be blocked, and even an X-rated video starring the people who received the message. While some are lucky - they hang up and forget about "that annoying call" - others are not. They lose hard-earned money and in extreme, very unfortunate cases - their lives too.
NDTV's 25-minute documentary "Inside The OTP Mafia: Nuh To New York" exposes this dark underbelly of OTP scams, blackmailing and sextortion with never-before-seen footage of a live raid by the Haryana Police, a tell-all chat with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) top expert and a bombshell interview with two, top-of-the-line scammers.
A live sextortion call for our cameras also lays bare India's most dangerous minds.
The thugs running this cartel are not some savvy techies sitting behind big, fancy screens in a city. These men and women are school dropouts operating from the comfort of their charpoys (yes, they work from home) in the fields of Jamtara, Nuh, Mathura, Bharatpur to name a few.
Boundaries are blurred as men from Noida call New Yorkers thousands of miles away. Stats reveal 45,000 Americans fell prey to these callers last year. Their arsenal: the most basic mobile phone handsets, hundreds of SIM cards, and bank accounts of innocent villagers.
"We got 140 cases a day in the US. We rely heavily with local law enforcement on combating this transnational... Some Indians in villages learn to speak like Americans from YouTube and other social media," the top FBI official told NDTV.
"Some of the cases include the loss of a few hundred dollars to a few thousands. It destroys entire savings and lives," the official said.
A woman in the US who was conned by an OTP mafia told NDTV she got a call from a 'government agency' claiming she needs to pay up for dealing in narcotics. Despite her denial, the calls kept coming and threatened her the officials would raid her. They told her she needs to pay first and then meet them.
"I lost thousands of dollars, about 75 per cent of my life's saving that I was planning to use after I retire. My son is 17 and is about to go to college. I have a differently abled daughter too," the woman told NDTV.
Thousands of SIM cards are used in the OTP scams. The Delhi Police had seized 22,000 SIM cards from one such OTP mafia in April this year.
Many of the senior citizens in the US do not expect such kinds of scams would happen in their country. They are very unsuspecting of it.
A few men who were involved in the scam, arrested and later released on bail, told NDTV that they spend their loot on entertainment and upgrading their lifestyle. "We have fun with the money," one of the men said.

"No Pilots Found": Passengers Claim They Were Stuck Inside US Plane For 7 Hours
In a shocking incident, passengers of Spirit Airlines in the United States claimed that they were forced to wait more than seven hours in the plane before takeoff since there was no pilot to fly it, as per a report in People Magazine. Flight 1736 was scheduled to depart from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to Richmond, Virginia on August 15 and cover the distance in 2.5 hours.
A passenger on the flight, Lindsey Mascera, recorded a video of the same and shared it on TikTok. It showed a plane full of passengers who waited seven hours inside the aircraft. "So we have 200 passengers on this flight right now. Everyone's luggage is down there. How long have you been waiting?" she asked another passenger, as mentioned by the outlet. "Seven hours," the woman responded in the video.
Ms Mascera added, "So (Spirit Airlines representatives) told us it was going to be 30 minutes, and we're all still on this flight at 10:44. It's almost 11 p.m. and we've been here since 3 p.m. We got delayed and now we're back and there's no pilots to be found and there's no answer." The video ended with the woman stating, "Do not ride Spirit. They s***."
In another clip, a flight attendant told passengers aboard Flight 1736 that "we are not allowed to deplane even though you've been here for over an hour."
Spirit Airlines, in a statement to the outlet, stated that the flight returned to the gate "due to air traffic control-imposed delays and weather conditions. Once at the gate, our Guests were offered access to the terminal. Despite our best efforts, the continued ATC and weather delays affected our abilities to reschedule, and we later cancelled the flight."
They continued, "Our Guests were offered the option to rebook on the next available Spirit flight or request a refund. We apologize for the inconvenience."

"You Watch Out": Belarus President Said He Warned Wagner Chief On Threat
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Friday that he had warned Russian mercenary chiefs Yevgeny Prigozhin and Dmitry Utkin to watch out for possible threats to their lives, and he insisted that Wagner fighters would remain in Belarus.
Russian President Vladimir Putin initially vowed to crush Wagner chief's June mutiny, comparing it to the wartime turmoil that ushered in the revolution of 1917, but hours later a deal was clinched to allow Prigozhin and some of his fighters to go to Belarus.
Lukashenko, who helped broker the deal, used prison slang shortly after the mutiny to say that he had persuaded Putin not to "wipe out" the mercenary who was listed as a passenger on a private jet which crashed on Wednesday north of Moscow.
Prigozhin, Lukashenko said, had twice dismissed concerns raised by the Belarusian leader about possible threats to his life.
Lukashenko said that during the mutiny he had warned Prigozhin that he would "die" if he continued to march on Moscow, to which he said Prigozhin had answered:
"'To hell with it - I will die'."
Then, Lukashenko said, when Prigozhin and Utkin, who helped found Wagner and was also listed as a passenger on the plane which crashed, had come to see him, he had warned them both:
"Lads - you watch out".
It was not exactly clear from Lukashenko's words, which were reported by the state news agency BELTA, when that conversation took place.
Lukashenko, both an old acquaintance of Prigozhin and a close ally of Russia, said that Vladimir Putin had nothing to do with the plane crash.
"I know Putin: he is calculating, very calm, even tardy," Lukashenko said. "I cannot imagine that Putin did it, that Putin is to blame. It's just too rough and unprofessional a job."
The Kremlin said on Friday that Western suggestions Prigozhin had been killed on its orders were an "absolute lie" while declining to definitively confirm his death, citing the need to wait for test results.
Lukashenko said Wagner fighters would remain in Belarus.
"Wagner lived, Wagner is living and Wagner will live in Belarus," Lukashenko said. "The core remains here."
"As long as we need this unit, they will live and work with us," he said.

Mr Gandhi concluded his nine-day tour of Ladakh with a public meeting in Kargil before offering his tribute at the war memorial en route to Srinagar.
He also met local residents of Drass before leaving the town on way to Kashmir in a car, senior Congress leader Asgar Ali Karbalai told PTI.
Mr Gandhi arrived in Leh initially on a two-day visit on August 17 but later extended his stay by a week, touring almost all important locations in the Union Territory of Ladakh on his motorcycle. He rode his bike from Leh to Pangong lake, Nubra, Khardungla top, Lamayuru, Zanskar and Kargil.
However, he left his motorcycle behind and boarded a car for Srinagar where he will be on a personal visit and will be joined by his mother, Sonia Gandhi, on Saturday.

BRICS Expansion Message To All Global Institutions To Adapt To Changing Times: PM Modi
With the BRICS deciding to admit six countries as its full members, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said the "expansion and modernisation" of the grouping is a message that all global institutions need to mould themselves according to the changing times.
At a media briefing along with the BRICS leaders in Johannesburg, PM Modi said inclusion of Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates as the new members will give the grouping new momentum and energy.
The decision on expansion of the five-nation grouping was announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa at the end of the three-day BRICS summit in Johannesburg.
He said the new member nations will become part of BRICS (Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa) with effect from January 1, 2024.
In his media statement in presence of Cyril Ramaphosa, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Brazil's Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, PM Modi said India has always fully supported the expansion of the BRICS membership.
"India has been of the view that the addition of new members will further strengthen BRICS as an organisation, and give a new impetus to all our common endeavours," he said.
The Prime Minister said the decision will further strengthen the faith of many countries in the multipolar world order.
"Other countries which have also expressed their desire to join BRICS, India will also contribute to building a consensus for joining them as partner countries," he said.
"The expansion and modernization of BRICS is a message that all the institutions of the world should adapt to the circumstances of the changing times," PM Modi said.
"This is such an initiative that can become an example for the reform of other global institutions established in the 20th century," he added.
India and many other countries have been pressing for reform of the United Nations as well as global financial institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank in reflection of the changing contours of geopolitics.
"I am happy that together our teams have agreed upon the guiding principles, standards, criteria and procedures for expansion. And on the basis of these, we have agreed to welcome Argentina, Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia and the UAE into BRICS," PM Modi said.
"I congratulate the leaders and people of these countries. I am sure that together with these countries, we will give a new momentum, a new energy to our cooperation," he said.
PM Modi said India has very deep and historical relations with all these countries.
"With the help of BRICS, new dimensions will definitely be added to our bilateral cooperation," he said.
The South African president said an agreement was reached on the "guiding principles, standards, criteria and procedures of the BRICS expansion process, which has been under discussion for quite a while".
"We have consensus on the first phase of this expansion process, and further phases will follow," he said.
South Africa is holding the current presidency of BRICS.
The grouping took shape in September 2006 and it originally comprised Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC). It was renamed as BRICS after South Africa was accepted as a full member in September 2010.
At present, the BRICS represents 41 per cent of the global population, 24 per cent of the global GDP and 16 per cent of the global trade. The BRICS member nations have been the main engines of global economic growth over the years.
Chinese President Xi described the expansion of BRICS as a "new starting point" for cooperation in the grouping.

Cravings These Foods Could Be A Sign Of Nutrient Deficiencies
Craving certain foods can sometimes indicate nutrient deficiencies, but it is not always the case. Cravings are complex and can be influenced by various factors, including psychological, emotional, and environmental factors. While a craving for a specific food could be due to a lack of nutrients, it can also be caused by habit, cultural factors, or simply a desire for that particular taste.
Therefore, it is important to consider various factors when trying to understand food cravings and consult a healthcare professional if you suspect any nutrient deficiencies. To help us better understand common food cravings people with nutrient deficiency have, Dr. Geetika Mittal Gupta shares a list of cravings to look out for.
She writes, "Did you know that when you're craving chocolate, your body could be hinting at a magnesium deficiency? And those salty cravings? They might be due to a lack of sodium or electrolyte imbalance.
Balancing your meals with nutrient-rich choices can keep those cravings in check. Load up on leafy greens for iron and vitamin B12, opt for whole grains to balance blood sugar and curb sweet desires, and don't forget the dairy to keep your calcium levels up!"
Look at her post:
Eating a well-balanced diet can help lower your risk of various nutrient deficiencies and can help you avoid these cravings.

Are Aliens Real? Astronomers May Receive Signal Tomorrow
Astronomers are anxiously waiting for a reply to radio signals beamed into the cosmos 40 years ago which will prove the existence of extraterrestrial life.
According to a report by the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun, professors Masaki Morimoto and Hisashi Hirabayashi used an antenna at Stanford University in the US to send a burst of radio signals into the cosmos on August 15, 1983. The message comprised 13 drawings depicting the history of life on Earth, what humans look like and other information.
Now, a team led by Shinya Narusawa at the University of Hyogo are all set to deploy an antenna 64 meters in diameter in Saku, Nagano Prefecture, in the hope of observing radio signals in response to the message sent in 1983.
The astronomers are hoping for a reply from Altair 16.7 light years from Earth. The team of astronomers predict that around now is the earliest point at which a response could arrive, Metro reported.
Altair is found in the Aquila constellation and is the 12th brightest star in the night sky.
"A large number of exoplanets have been detected since the 1990s," said Mr Narusawa told Asahi Shimbun. "Altair may have a planet whose environment can sustain life."
The astronomers are expecting that at 10 pm tomorrow night, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's (JAXA) antenna in Saku, central Japan will scan the skies for a reply, listening for an hour.
August 22 is a symbolic day for Japan as it celebrates Tanabata, also known as the 'star festival' on the seventh day of the seventh month - July 7. However, according to Lunar Calendar Tanabata falls tomorrow, because they decided to choose this date.
In 1983, when the "Hello, is anybody there?" message was beamed to the heavens, it fell on August 15, the media outlet reported.
Professor Masaki Morimoto, a Japanese pioneer in the field known as the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), worked at the Tokyo Astronomical Observatory of the University of Tokyo, now part of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan. He died in 2010.
Mr Narusawa, 58, said intelligent life outside of Earth should exist somewhere in the universe. He told the Japanese outlet, "A large number of exoplanets have been detected since the 1990s. Altair may have a planet whose environment can sustain life.”
