YOU ALL KEEP ASKING WHY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT DOESN’T DO SOMETHING?

Unfortunately, we have an African (and I don’t mean black) I mean African in the White House. So he has a personal bias in favor of the African countries.

As a first generation American, his father, Barack Obama, Sr., was a Luo from Nyang’oma Kogelo, Kenya.

Our President sees no reason to impose severe controls or restrictions on African countries for their failure to control rampant online fraudFraud In law, fraud is intentional deception to secure unfair or unlawful gain (money or other assets), or to deprive a victim of a legal right. Fraud can violate civil law (e.g., a fraud victim may sue the fraud perpetrator to avoid the fraud or recover monetary compensation) or criminal law (e.g., a fraud perpetrator may be prosecuted and imprisoned by governmental authorities), or it may cause no loss of money, property, or legal right but still be an element of another civil or criminal wrong. The purpose of fraud may be monetary gain or other benefits, for example by obtaining a passport, travel document, or driver's license, or mortgage fraud, where the perpetrator may attempt to qualify for a mortgage by way of false statements. A fraud can also be a hoax, which is a distinct concept that involves deliberate deception without the intention of gain or of materially damaging or depriving a victim. throughout the continent. This is a fact worth remembering. Most of the explosion in scamming has happened in the last 6 years. Now Facebook wants to explode internet access throughout Africa and Asia – these decisions have consequences.

Only South Africa with its stronger basis in the rule of law is serious about controlling scamScam A Scam is a confidence trick - a crime -  is an attempt to defraud a person or group after first gaining their trust through deception. Scams or confidence tricks exploit victims using their credulity, naïveté, compassion, vanity, irresponsibility, or greed and exploiting that. Researchers have defined confidence tricks as "a distinctive species of fraudulent conduct ... intending to further voluntary exchanges that are not mutually beneficial", as they "benefit con operators ('con men' - criminals) at the expense of their victims (the 'marks')".

Only one current candidate has discussed the issue at all, that was Trump. He is actually aware of the problem. Especially the new BEC Scam threat.

Scams and online fraud are an international threat, and if the United States refused to be a leader, as we have in the past in law enforcement, then the rest of the world only looks inward, and international cooperation and enforcement becomes much weaker.

There is also the central fact that most African countries view this as more of a civil matter. Meaning that the victim voluntarily gave their money to the fraudsters and that their governments cannot be bothered with it. The only reliable enforcement has come with tax evasion, meaning the scammers don’ pay their income taxes.

There are a few shining examples though. Notably, the Malaysians are “kick-ass” on scammers. Singapore treats is like drug offenses. Philippines’ NBINBI The National Bureau of Investigation (Filipino: Pambansang Kawanihan ng Pagsisiyasat, abbreviated as NBI) is an agency of the Philippine government under the Department of Justice, responsible for handling and solving major high-profile cases that are in the interest of the nation. The NBI was modeled after the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) when it was being established. also does a good job where they can. But the Western countries are primarily focused on education, and catching those inside their borders.

This is sadly the reason why the U.S. doesn’t do more. After all, just look at our Southern Border, we don’t even care about our own laws anymore!
