PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE

I have come across a lot of people who lost their hard earned money to scammers, fraudsters, cheaters, thugs….chose your word; they all mean the same to me. They all wanted to get rich quick like me, but I was rigid when it came to values and that is the only reason why I have always managed to steer myself away from scammers. I always managed to subdue my greed, uphold my vales and struggled in the right direction. There is no easy way out, there is no shortcut. A lot of really good people, unfortunately too eager to get rich quick, lost their hard earned money to the scammers. They are all mostly good people, earning an honest living, working hard to make their dreams come true. Whenever they come to me for help, I am so saddened at the expensive justice system we have in place. Most of the honest people hardly earn enough to meet the basic needs of their families. Very few can afford the lawyers and the time needed to pursue litigation. Most are working class people with their jobs to worry about and cannot stay away from work for extended periods. Besides, in some cases, there is a vacuum in the legislation and it is extremely difficult to convict the scammers as their scam has not been declared a predicate offence yet. While I will always encourage people to fight for their rights and do not let the scammers get away with it, I feel it will be better to create public awareness about the various types of scams so that people can steer away from them. Prevention is always better than cure and less costly. So stay with me, I am involved in combating financial crimes and will do my bit to save people from becoming victims. Let us help each other and save each other from the scammers.
