    These r educated people, they will never believe or help someone really in some financial crisis, but will believe some fraud stranger. I recollect an incident some 10 yrs back, a wise person i know he was a crpf retired ex-serviceman. He used to tell that generally a person will lend money more likely to someone who may not return it back.

    Educated people become smart after education, their smartness leads to make them blunders. In Kannada there is a saying "buddivanthanige mooru kade". This is what happens.

    Not enough importance is given to crimes related to cybercrime. Not only people from derelict areas but also others use this for fast money. The dichotomy of marketing of Digital India and not enough being done to ease the complaint process and track cyber criminals has belied the people of India.

    There are hundreds of Doctors and big businessmen floating around Cyber Network who keep sending mails and SMS to join them in their business as partners. It is common sense which needs to be put to work and nothing else. How this educated woman remitted Rs. 19 Lakh to the account of a unknown and unseen man ..........nothing but mere stupidity or over smart......now enjoy the music.....!!!
