Interviews Overview: The main demographic I interviewed was college students ranging from 18 - 25. This age range uses the Internet the most and is most affected by theses scams. Most agreed that this is a big issue due to how long they use the Internet per day. Also many gave me suggestions and advice which helped me shape my idea on how to combat this issue.
I do see this as a growing issue since the Internet is so big. The only thing that comes to mind is how do you control such a huge problem? Almost everyone uses the Internet and I'm really curious as to how you would protect everyone from all the scams that people use. How would you help influence people to be smarter about what they click on and learn to avoid scams?
ReplyDeleteIt is very Interesting that i also talked about online scammers. It is a very important topic that is causing a lot of losses each year.

ReplyDeletegreat opportunity choice the internet is full of click bait and scams. When I think about your post i think of china and their highly regulated internet the only problem is people even there, still get around the blocks with new websites it is near impossible to monitor that much content.
ReplyDeleteScammers are all over the internet so this is an interesting opportunity to explore. I think everyone who uses the internet has seen some sort of scam online. It’s definitely an issue, but it’s also quite difficult to solve because the internet isn’t really regulated. There needs to be a way to stop scammers without violating the privacy of the internet.
