Mangaluru: An incident of an unknown team falsely extracting a whopping amount of Rs 10.88 Lakhs from an individual on the pretext of providing a part-time job has come to light on Wednesday.

The individual was allegedly deceived by a message sent by an individual who identified himself as the representative of ‘Acuate Media Company’ and informed the victim about offering a part-time opportunity in the company. The message also convinced the victim that he/she could earn 2-3 thousand rupees on a daily basis through online work. Subsequently, the scammers manipulated the victim into transferring money from his/her bank accounts, starting from the 26th to the 28th, under the belief of this opportunity.

Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.

Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.

“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.

Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”

Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”

“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.

When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”

The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
