Welcome to, SCAM NATION, where you and I, along with, EVERYBODY else, can be, easy targets, even if we are, usually, careful, we still just might, fall, prey! Off of the Newspapers, translated…
There are, scams on the news all the time now, the news reported on how the victims had, scammed and wired out all their lives' savings, or their retirement funds, and the scam artists are innovative in new ways to scam the people, the ways come out, by the nanoseconds, we can't, defend against them. My families and I, had encountered, several kinds of, scams.
On my second semester in junior year of university, a classmate introduced me to a part-time opportunity, but, he'd, not, told me the requirements of the work, and not disclosed what it was that I was, supposed to do, I'd thought, that it wouldn't hurt, so I went to the orientation with him, and, as the person introduced the company to us, I'd found out, that it was, a sales scam, with every member, recruiting others on.

And, although I became hesitant of the $20,000N.T. entrance membership fee, but, with my classmate's, and higher up of the chain of scams keep feeding the ideas to me, I'd, fallen, pray, thought I could strike rich, so I'd, pulled out all my savings, bought that diamond, as an, entrance fee. Thought I could find the members I was supposed to recruit soon enough, yet, I couldn't, con any single person, and, those who knew what I was working on, all my friends, they'd all, kept themselves at a distance from me then, I'd become, more and more, unhappy, and in the end, I'd, decided, that I needed out, and returned back of the simpler life of a, college student.
While for my mother, after her sixty-fifth, one day as she went shopping at the marketplace, she was targeted by the con artists, and, don't know what the person gave to her, plus that overly used script, conned my mother back to her house, and, they'd robbed her clean, of the $100,000N.T. she had in cash at home, all her jewelries too, and, this, for my mother who'd been frugal, was a huge HIT, and she'd, blamed herself for being too careless, to this, very, day.

And it only took us getting conned and scammed once, and we're both, alerted, but, my eldest sister had been conned from when she was younger, to present day, including how her best friend borrowed the money from her, and not paid her back, getting conned by the pyramid schemes, investment scams, awhile ago, she'd even believed that her "boyfriend online" would lent her $300,000U.S. to pay up her debts. Because we'd all been scammed, we can, empathize with the victims' thoughts, and, unless we awaken ourselves, otherwise, everybody around us, can't, help us.
So, this is, from being SCAMMED, sometimes, it takes people just this once, then, they wise up, but for others, it may take them touching the flames, until they burned completely to charcoal, and they still, NEVER learn, it all depends, if you have a strong psychological sense of your own selves or not, and, are you, willing to, trust the words of others, without, any, suspicions or not, and, these con artists that got away are mostly those whom we know, those whom we crossed paths from before, like that, long-lost, friend, classmate, that called out of the blue…and, we are all, easy, preys for these, PREDATORS!
