Must we give a reason for scammers to continue scamming us?
The insensitive increase in scamming activities over the decades has been on the increase in most parts of the world.
People have attributed this increase to several factors and yet, despite the awareness gathered, the trend still strives.
One will be eager to ask ways scammers get this done and the ways are:
1. Through your contacts
2. Through social media platforms
3. Through manipulating your electronic mails (email)
Following the increase in this, it is important and necessary to avoid this by;
1. Always do well to avoid too good to be true messages of you winning a prize for what you are sure you never applied for
2. Emails that are linked with your financial affairs should not be used on almost all platforms and links.
3. When you do POS transactions or purchase, ensure you are conscious there are no smart play with your credit or debit cards.
4. Be updated about the lattest trends and techniques been used by scammers in everyday life.

N/B: Be responsible and protect yourself from being scammed!!!!!!
These things just require common sense, but I don't get why some people are still falling into it. I guess common sense isn't really that common, huh?
If you have assets in your phones and computers, you should do all the best way possible to keep it safe from hacking, phishing, and fraudulent activities. By doing those, your assets will not be compromised. I notice there are really just gullible people out there that easily believe anything they are offered with. I've read so many posts regarding being scammed and being hacked, and they all have a common denominator - falling into too good to be true scheme and not being careful enough to check what they are clicking. As much as I don't want to victim blame, I can't help but do it since most of them do not really learn their lesson well from the experience of other people and through the warning signs given to them. I just hope there would be no more people to fall victim to these evil scammers and hackers. Secure your funds well and always be extra careful.
For those scammers and hackers out there stealing the hard-earned assets of innocent people, remember that all of the things that you have stolen, you will pay tenfolds more. Karma is a bitch. All of you evil people taking advantage of the good ones can choke.
