Scam apps

In this fast-moving digital world, we see new apps and platforms emerge every day. These platforms often market themselves as easy money-making solutions. Sadly, many of them are modern-day scams that are designed to exploit the hopes and trust of our young people. They provide temporary returns to attract new users, but the system runs on circulating money from fresh investors and not by generating real profit. As time passes, the majority fall into the trap and lose their savings. This model is unsustainable, unethical and deeply harmful.

The real future lies in skills. Unlike scam apps, skills do not vanish overnight. The harsh consequences of falling for these frauds go beyond financial loss. Many young people, after losing money or being cheated, suffer from depression, anxiety and, in some tragic cases, even consider self-harm. This is a public mental health concern we can no longer ignore. It is time to educate, not exploit, our youth.
