ADVICE ON SCAMS TO THE UNAWARE

How our world has changed
Demise of honesty, making people deranged
WIFI/INTERNET attracting SPAM
The web netted outlet is the space for SCAM
Promoting poor language and long passed over trust
Cautious use is a community must
Social Media deception is so easy to miss
Instant gut feeling helps side step this

Up front payments are no go areas
If not self set up, they’re from the nefarious

Get sight of the ‘goods’ before any action
Which will ensure real deal satisfaction
Suspecting all newcomers until proven right
Will consign the scammers to be out of the fight
The highest heinous effect?, upsetting the emotions
In the victim’s loss and ongoing devotions
Examples are subtle romantic grooming
Then sudden ruptured love so hurtful and booming
Or life’s savings filched through savage deceit
Gone for good with no hope of receipt

Beware, beware, never act without thought
Keep a shot in your locker, whilst the battle is fought
