Makhe sijonge kuValerie Sobel. Ufumene umnxeba kwaye umntu uthe: "Sinomunwe wakho ngomunwe. Bhatala okanye uza kufumana umzimba wakhe wonke kwisikhwama somzimba. "Uloyiko, uValerie wagijimela kwindawo yokutshintshwa kwemali waza wathinta i-$ 4,000 ukuya kumntu obethi ungumntwana wakhe.
Kwadlula iiyure ezininzi, waza wabiza umnxeba wakhe wefowuni ngokuphindaphindiweyo. Ekugqibeleni, intombi yakhe, uSimone, yambiza. Wayephephile ngokupheleleyo, akazange athunjwa, kwaye adideke ngokupheleleyo yimilayezo kaValerie.
Le ngqamlezo ibizwa ngokuba "ukuthunjwa okwenyaniso." Ngokwenene, i- scammer ifowuni iinombolo ezingalindelekanga ukuba zifumane umntu onokuziqinisekisa. Ngamanye amaxesha baphanda i-Facebook okanye ezinye iziza ezijongene noluntu kumagama kunye namanani. Oku akuyinto enzima. Abantu bayakunqwenela. Yaye yintoni umama ongeyithathile i-akhawunti yebhanki ukugcina umntwana wakhe? Ukuba u-scammer ubiza abantu abayi-100, amathuba aphakamileyo ukuba omnye wabo uya kuhlawula ngokukhawuleza.
Nantsi enye indlela enokusebenza ngayo: u-scammer ubiza umntu kunye nomntu ophendulayo eva umntwana okanye umntwana okhala. Mhlawumbi nakwi-movie clip. Izwi lomntwana lithetha "Umama," kwaye ngokukhawuleza, uloyiko lomntu lubeka kuyo. Umntwana ucela uncedo, kwaye ilizwi lomntu liva.
Le ndoda iyabuza ukuba ngaba nguNksk njalo njalo, kwaye izinto ziya kuthusa ngokwenene. Le ndoda ibiza umnxeba umnxeba ngegama lakhe, kwaye umntwana, mhlawumbi uvakala kakhulu njengendodakazi yakhe, ukhalela. Xa ummangali unomama, uxelela loo ntombi ukuba intombazana inxinyiwe, kwaye ukuba akayi kuhlawula intlawulelo, intombi yakhe iya kufa.
Ngaba ubona ukuba kulula kangakanani ukuwa kulo mbuzo? Ukuba unabantwana, kufuneka uthi "ewe."
Olu qhwaba luye lwaqhubeka ukususela ukususela ngo-2015, kwaye luye lwachaphazela amawaka abantu. Enye yeendawo ezitshisayo zolu qhekeza nguLos Angeles, kwaye abantu abangama-250 baye bawa ngenxa yalo. Oku kubiza amaxhoba malunga nama-114,000.
Abantu abaninzi bathabatha le ngcingo ngokukodwa. Esinye isizathu kukuba banqatshiswe ngokufowunelwa. Uninzi lwabantu aluqapheli ukuba lo ngumzamo wecala, kwaye ubuchopho babo bakhawuleza batshintshe kwimodi yokutya.
Esinye sezibonakaliso zokuxela ukuba le ngongoma iyinombolo yefowuni. Uninzi lwabo luvela eMexico. Ukuba awukwazi umntu ovela eMexico, oku kuwuphawu lokuba lugaxekile. Abanye abantu, nangona kunjalo, banabantu baseMexico njengomhlobo okanye ilungu lentsapho, ukuze bangacingi kabini. Abantu abaninzi nabo iGoogle la manani kwaye kubonakala ngokukhawuleza ukuba badibaniswa nokutshutshiswa.
Enye yemibandela ekulu apha yindlela abaphathi abasenza ngayo le mibabala. Elinye ixhoba, uKishau Rogers, lafumana le fowuni malunga nentombi yakhe. Ngokukhawuleza ukuba "umnxeba" wamcela ukuba athethe intlawulelo, wabiza u-911. Umthumeli waqhagamshelana nesikolo, esiqinisekisile ukuba intombi yakhe ilapho.
URogers uthe igosa lesikolo lidibanisa namapolisa kwaye lifake ingxelo, kodwa i-dispatcher ye-911 ayizange ibonakale ixhala malunga nayo.
Enye yemibandela enkulu uRogers ayenayo malunga nesiganeko yintoni na obenzileyo ukuthetha ngayo igama lakhe lokuqala. Kuyinto engavamile, kwaye wayitsho ngokugqibeleleyo xa ebiza. Emva koko waqonda ukuba uthumele amanqaku amaninzi kumaphepha akhe eendaba ezentlalo malunga nendlela yokubiza igama lakhe. Ngaloo ndlela, uRogers ukholelwa ukuba umbonisi oqhambileyo ngaphambi kokuba axhumane naye.
Nangona ngoku kuyacaca ukuba uRogers utyhafile, ngokuqinisekileyo akucaci xa ezi fowuni zivela. Ukuba uphoswa kule meko, kwaye ukholelwa ukuba umntwana wakho uya kubulawa, ngokuqinisekileyo uya kuyithatha kakhulu. Ngoko ke, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba ufake ezinye iinkqubo zokukhusela ukuba unabantwana kwaye uqaphele ezi ngxaki.
Indlela ababi abayenza ngayo le ngcikivo iyahluka. Kwiimeko ezininzi, nangona kunjalo, umnxeba ujolise ikhowudi yendawo engacwangcanga, aze abize amanani aze afumane umntu ukuba awe ngenxa yezobuqhetseba. Kwezinye iimeko, abagxeki baye benza uphando nge-intanethi kwaye bafunda ulwazi malunga neethagethi zabo kwizentlalo. Ngale ndlela, bayazi ngolwazi olumalunga nomntu ababizayo, kuquka amagama abo abantwana, iqabane, apho basebenza khona, njl.
Ngayiphi indlela, umnxeba uthi ilungu lentsapho, ngokuqhelekileyo ngumntwana, lixhunyiwe, kwaye liya kutyhafa okanye kubulawe ngaphandle kokuba ithagethi ihlawulela intlawulelo. Uninzi lwabantu abaye balwa nexhoba kule ngqungquthela belugqiba ukuthumela iintlawulo zabo zentlawulelo kuma-akhawunti aseMexico, kodwa kwezinye iimvavanyo, amaxhoba ayecelwa ukuba ahlawule ngemali eMelika.
Iingcali eziqaphelayo izikrazo zibonisa ukuba iintsapho ziza ngesicwangciso sokufumana ukudibanisa nabathandekayo babo xa kwenzeka into enjengale. Ngokomzekelo, khawuqwalasele ukuthetha nesikolo somntwana wakho malunga nalolu qhwaba, ukuba bafumana ikholi yefowuni esuka kumzali, bayakwazi ukusabela ngokukhawuleza. Kukwacetyiswa ukuba unelungelo elifihlakeleyo, ukwenzela ukuba xa ufumana ifowuni enje, unokumbuza umntu ngomnye umgca womgca ukuba yiliphi igama eliyimfihlo. Into ebaluleke kakhulu, ukuba kunjalo, ukuba uhlale uyazi.
Abafazi abayena kuphela abafumana le fowuni, ngoko qi ni sekise ukuba wonke umntu ohlala ekhaya uyazi ngale ngxaki. Ngo-2015, kwaze kwaba ngumphathi we-LAPD. Yathi kwakukho umfazi kwelinye isiphelo sesibalo esithi "Baba, ncedise!" Inkokheli ayifumanga ilizwi, kodwa ke ilizwi lendoda lafika ngokukhawuleza kwinqanaba kwaye lisongela ukubulala intombi umphathi ukuba akazange ahlawule. Ngelo xesha, umphathi wesigqeba wayengekho emsebenzini kunye nokuqhuba, kodwa wabona amagosa aseburhulumenteni asebenzayo kwaye wawagxotha. Uthe loo masipala athe waqhagamshelana nesikolo sayo ntombi waza wafumanisa ukuba ukhuselekile. Ibali elikhulu lokuthabatha ibali le-sergeant yile: uloyiko luya kuthatha xa ufumana enye yale fowuni, kwaye ukuba i-sergeant yamapolisa iya kuwa, iimeko ezintle ziyakukwenza.
I-FBI inecebiso phezu kwanoma ubani ofumana umnxeba njengale: khawuleza uyixele kubasemagunyeni, kwaye ungalokothi uthumele loo mntu nayiphina imali.
