How Social Media Promote Social Vice

A friend’s request on the social media soon turned out to be a disclosure and link to a lump sum of money stashed away in a foreign bank ripe for the taking. On one hand is a charitable Australian lady whose late husband had bequethed a fortune now bed-ridden and in the final throes of a terminal cancerous growth. At the other end is the writer and veteran blogger whose disarming profile though infectious is a shield for shrewdness that is rare to come by in a shifty clime typified by obsession with flashy cars and ostentatious living. A short-lived drama, fast-paced build-up anchored to a flourish of missives, a hoax leading to the rather shocking discovery of the sophistication of the modern-day crooks, How Social Media Promote Social Vice is a must read. An eye-opener that scam on the social media is real notwithstanding the relentless effort to sanitize and make safe the platform for everyone.
