Name and Shame campaigns/websites are popping up all over the world , in an effort to expose that person , group or business who are guilty of conning and cheating ; swindling and scamming or deceiving and duping the public .
So if you have ever been a victim and suffered at the hands of dodgy dudes , unscrupulous business dealers or dishonest individuals , there's something you can do about it .
This campaign is used to discourage anti-social and criminal activities by publishing the names of those involved and has even been extended to NGO's and governmental bodies .
Ever heard of cyber~vigilantes ?
Quite topical! A close friend of mine otherwise very astute fell a victim to one such racket.
I can believe that ! These people are so smooth , you have to be very careful … it can happen to anybody !
You do have to be careful! And if something sounds too good to be true….
Great idea for the prompt, M!!
Absolutely R ~~ I aways say , if it seems too good to be true , then it probably is ! 🙂
