The other victims of scams are the hard working, honest people in countries such as Benin, Nigeria, Ghana, etc. Real orphanages suffer because it is assumed to be just another scam. Real charities seeking to provide food, housing, medical assistance, etc., in those countries face a similar battle. As awareness of scams grows, so too does the stereotype that everyone there is a scammer. I know this is covered in a sticky and isn't meant to be an ethics debate. I have a friend IRL who is a missionary in that part of the world and we were discussing this earlier. Just wanted to share my musings. I also know there are members here from some of the 'stereotypical' nations that many scammers operate from and wonder iif they have faced discrimination because of it. |
