It is no doubt the Internet has made life easier for man ever since its invention. From education to banking to communication and business and various aspects of life today, the Internet plays an all-important role.
But amidst the many usefulness of the Internet, we find Internet scammers whose only job is to look for people whom they defraud of assets and money, and over the years it has become more profound, with those who engage in the act mastering various ways by which they carry out their activities even with recent advancements in cybersecurity.
Some of the people involved go as far as learning programming skills and using complicated software, which they use in carrying out their activities. It's more confusing because with the skill set most of these guys possess, they can get job offers in multinational companies with interesting paychecks.
But the quest for fast wealth has blinded them to the endless possibilities they can get out there, the most common in my society today being yahoo yahoo, as it is popularly called here.
Some of the guys involved look for people online they engage, especially foreigners who wouldn't suspect a thing. I don't know how they do it, but some of these foreigners now trust them so much that they share some personal information, which they now use to collect money from their victims.
Sometimes you will hear them say things like they are collecting the money of their forefathers back from these foreigners. The big question is what business did their forefathers, some of whom lived in poverty and never had interactions with the outside world, do that makes them think they were unjustly treated?
As for the punishment, they should be taken to correctional facilities where their brains can be reprogrammed so as not to see people as channels for a get-rich-quick scheme. They should also be made to participate in community services as a way of giving back to the community that they stole from.
For the ones that show a level of improvement and repentance, they could be given opportunities to serve either in the military or in a special crime investigation department as cyber security experts under some surveillance, though, because the level of skills they possess could be used by those agencies.
By the above method of punishment, these so-called scammers can have a chance to give back to the society that they stole from directly or indirectly; this could also bring about the development of good morals and culture and finally put their skills into use for the betterment of society.
Thank you for stopping by.
