Watch This Young Man Turn To Scamming in This Emotional Short Film (Video)
It is a sad reality that scamming has become quite pervasive in our society.
High levels of unemployment and lack of opportunities have undoubtedly contributed to this scourge plaguing our island.
Though most Jamaicans work very hard to earn a living, there are many, particularly youngsters who have no desire to do the required labour to achieve their dreams.
Scamming has become a relatively easy and quick way for many persons to ‘get rich quick’ and the practice continues to become more regular despite numerous initiatives by authorities to curb it.
Sometimes, dire situations lead good persons to do things they know are wrong as can be seen in this short film below.
The emotional film titled ‘Motive‘ by iKon media, features popular Jamaican comedian Kevin Swaby. Check out his Youtube channel here.
No matter how dire a situation is nothing can make up for doing something wrong
