VTM ;ATM machine turns to gold , An ATM skimming device, Let us separate matters.

時至今日ATM服務深入民眾生活,尤其在台灣ATM更是遍地開花,金管會統計,截5月底全台共有2.74萬台ATM,等於每840人就擁有1台ATM,密度堪稱世界第一。
ATM近年已悄悄進化變身為VTM (Virtual Teller Machine,遠程視訊櫃員機),歐美甚至中國、香港都在這2、3年廣設這種結合真人服務機台......
儘管國人對ATM耳熟能詳,但說起VTM很多人應該很陌生,VTM的概念是Video加上ATM。有別於傳統ATM只能單向操作,民眾透過螢幕與遠端銀行員雙向溝通,讓預約開戶、掛失金融卡、申辦信用卡、舊貸戶對保、財富管理KYC(認識你的客戶)等,一機搞定。
一銀、華南銀和玉山銀都設有VTM,一銀在北中南選定20家分行設VTM,除舊貸戶的簽約對保到下午5點外,其餘服務是採24小時,半夜也能申請信用卡;華南銀則有5台服務時間到晚上9點。
玉山銀在北中南共3台VTM,視訊服務從早上9點至下午5點半,也是目前國內市場唯一結合領取現金服務的機台。VTM廠商表示,每家銀行考量不同,一銀機器沒有結合領取現鈔,主要考量諮詢服務所花費的時間較久,會耽誤其他客戶提領現鈔,若是分為兩台機器,可以服務更多客戶。
玉山銀行個人金融事業處資深經理蔡宗樺表示,玉山銀首創愛心手語客服諮詢,雖非大眾客群,但自2月中旬上線以來,3台設備共使用68次。
VTM與ATM除可取代銀行據點不足外,也可紓解銀行臨櫃人潮。以一銀為例,永春分行緊鄰捷運站,許多上班族會利用下班時間主動使用;而大安分行只要大廳有較多人排隊等開戶,就會請客戶直接使用VTM。
一銀主管表示,民眾選擇與VTM真人客服對談時,預約開戶會先掃描身分證,機器自動將資料帶入,缺的資訊比如電話會由客服幫忙填寫,填寫完基本資訊再到櫃台領取存摺與金融卡。若是申請信用卡,機器會印出填寫完的申請表,民眾簽名後由機器吸回即可。

social engineering 中共的社會工程: 劉曉波封鎖、Trump 總統美人計? 統一?


中共的社會工程: 劉曉波封鎖、Trump 總統美人計? 統一?





中午看Bloomberg台,螢幕幕旁的小新聞跑馬說:網友的、最熱門的新聞乃是 Trum總統和.莫斯科 的Miss Universe的韻事:

How Trump's 'Miss Universe' in Russia Became Ensnared in a Political ...




(德國之聲中文網)要是在北京商業區三里屯向路人打聽,這些天有哪些最重要的新聞,你會得到多種回答。一名45歲女性不假思索,脫口而出:"天氣","在北京,熱得不行;在華南地區,到處是大水"。其他人則表示,中國城鎮的租自行車熱是最熱門話題,或者,剛結束的德國G20峰會。劉曉波的名字無人提及。德新社報導說,普通的中國人又怎麼會認識現年61歲的他?涉及這名中國公民維權人士的命運,中國官媒集體噤聲。關於他,本來有著能引起人們強烈興趣的訊息可以報導:2010年,他被授予或貝爾和平獎,但不能親自領獎,原因是,他此時已被系獄。這位異議人士參與撰寫了一份公民憲章,要求在中國實現新體制,使之成為一個"自由、民主、合憲的國家"。因這些所寫下的文字,劉曉波被以"顛覆國家政權罪"判處11年監禁。今年6月中旬,他得以離開監獄,只因他罹患肝癌,且已是晚期。從那以來,他在受監視狀態下,在華北城市瀋陽的一所醫院裡治療。有關他的病情,只是院方向公眾作簡短通報。通報語焉不詳,套用醫學術語,最新的說法是"病危"。然而,受嚴格控制的官媒竟連這樣的消息也不報導。維權人士指出,中國的新聞封鎖越來越嚴厲。兩週前,中國主席習近平親臨香港,出席這個前英國直屬殖民地回歸中國20年慶典,官方電視節目中不乏歡慶畫面,但對成千上萬示威者,卻一字不提。示威者們抗議北京對這個特別行政區不斷增加的影響。不僅是國內傳媒處於北京的控制下。中國也封鎖臉書、推特及谷歌這樣的社交媒體、視頻平台YouTube、《紐約時報》、《華爾街日報》等國際傳媒體,批評北京的政策、提人權話題的網站同樣也被封鎖。根據新近的通報,當局還將繼續限制虛擬個人網絡(VPN )。在華外國人和許多中國人使用這一網絡,以繞開封鎖。只有若干旨在向世界傳播中國聲音的英文官媒才被允許報導劉曉波事件。本週一起,一些簡短的視頻在網上流傳,其中顯示兩名外國大夫來到劉曉波的病床邊,並讚揚中國醫生的治療措施。德新社報導說,據劉曉波友人們的看法,這些"宣傳行為"是要讓外國確信,沒有必要讓這位人權人士去境外治療。而出國治療本是劉曉波夫婦的願望。包括海德堡癌症專家-畢希勒(Markus Büchler )教授在內的外國醫生們在一份共同聲明中指出,從原則上講,旅途無虞,海德堡或美國都能提供治療。對此,中國網絡出現的視頻上蹤影全無。對新聞的控制如此之嚴,以致於北京外交部對自己的新聞會得記錄稿也做手腳。本週一的新聞會上,外國記者多次問及:在外國專家表示了"Okay"後,劉曉波是否可以出境治療了?對此,一名發言人機械地重複回答說,其它國家不要干涉中國內政。在後來公佈的紀錄稿中,所有涉及劉曉波的問、答全然不見。




Sound of Silence - SOS
許多人都有在網絡上或實際接觸到中國人的經驗,甚至也有不是「小粉紅」、「五毛」,不支持中共的中國人,但包含這些人在內,中國人普遍都是支持「統一台灣」的。為什麼中國人喜歡統一台灣?
 
--


中國人普遍都支持「統一台灣」,為什麼中國人喜歡「統一」?其實這是一種社會工程,他們的做法是,先有了一個國策,然後再透過獨佔所有媒體、教育,以及控制網絡,去以多個方式,讓包括你在內的所有人去支持那個國策。
