Be careful what you do with your digital life. It may come back to bite you. Some West African kids played a lot on the internet and made tons of money illegally. They led the good life, and showed the world what it looks like living big in West Africa.
Only they went too far and forgot that once you hit the magic buttons "SEND", "POST" etc, your privacy is gone for good. That little snippet of your life forever belongs to the void, where zeros and ones from our lives go to be stored for posterity.
And that is how they and their families will come to curse forever the urge that made them join Facebook. Now, their faces and in many cases, unwitting friends' have been posted online on an anti-scam forum. It is sad to know that there is little they can do to save the situation as the screen grabs are resident in secure servers abroad, and are also being downloaded every second into PCs around the world. I feel sorry both for the victims and scammers. This is just one more problem that the authorities will have to contend with in a digital age.
This should serve as a teachable moment for all kids growing up in Cameroon and West Africa. Always look, before you leap, and remember, there is no such thing as easy money.
A word to the wise is enough...
