Scammers Galore and Every One of them a Whore

We need to bring back the stocks, flogging and branding.

Today’s scammers are a pox on society. Taking the gullible, the vulnerable and the stupid for their life savings, and when caught they should be sentenced to flogging and branding and a day in the stocks with passersbys provided a few barrels of moldy tomatoes they can pelt the miscreants with.

What are stocks? See the above image. They were placed in the town square in medieval times. The top piece lifted. The convicted person’s neck rested on the large middle hole and the hands rested on the two smaller holes. The top bar came down and was locked in place and there the prisoner stayed for a day and was pelted with rotten fruit, eggs, and garbage by passerbys and hopefully learned a lesson.

I hate scammers. I am really up for them to be publicly flogged when caught. No mercy. They are merciless and they don’t give a damn who they hurt and whose lives they destroy. And the blasted internet has only made things worse not to mention smartphones with way too many messaging apps, emails and spoofing phone calls from all corners of the globe.
