Rich people from rich country, please educated yourself and your friends, family not to get scam.
Most people who scam you are slaves. If this business no longer viable, maybe they stop kidnapping more slaves.
You can't blame the victims for being scammed any more than you can blame the other victims for being forced into slavery. Also, a lot of these scams succeed with elderly people who are no longer able to make the best judgments.
Yeah, young people need to be around to prevent that happen.
So stop leaving your grand alone
I watched a documentary about how people are enslaved and forced to commit these scams. It's even worse for them than it is for the people being scammed. I keep trying to tell people about things like this, but it's like they don't believe me. I even had a co-worker who was in a pig butchering scam for years, but refused to believe it because she was "in love" with "him." It finally got to a point where she saw through it, but she had already lost a lot.
Last Week Tonight had a great segment on this scam: https://youtu.be/pLPpl2ISKTg?si=4H9IFHN6Qa4ZhheI
