Scamming exists in many forms in the Jamaican society. I choose this
topic because I have seen what happened to people who are involved in scamming. Then perpetrators sometimes end up dead or imprisoned while the victims become mentally unstable and their families are left to pick up the pieces. Through this research I hope to broaden my knowledge and I will find out if there’s actually a relationship between scamming and crime in the Jamaican society. My grammar, comprehension and analytical skills will be further developed. I intend to collect articles from the internet video from you tube, newspaper clippings and a poem/song. Piece 1 This Artefact is a Video on the Subtopic the relationship between scamming and Society crime in the Jamaican Society. This is placed on the flash drive. The title is the Jamaican lottery scam, taken from YouTube.

The Title is Scammers the Jamaican Documentary. Piece 3
The print was taken off Google from the Jamaica observer the title is
Too many Victims; Eliminate Scamming
Reflection of Artefacts # 1
After watching the video one can understand how it feels to be
living in the Jamaican society where scamming has become so prevalent. It was very disturbing to know that such a heinous crime has been embraced by our people. The guns, gangs, fancy lifestyle and violence were all a part of the deception. Listening to the audio I was amazed by the different emotions portrayed by the victims who were affected by scamming. I felt ashamed because Jamaica is now known as the scamming capital. I empathized with those victims who were often left traumatized with little or no earnings to fall back on. While reading the article I observed that there is a relationship between scamming and crime in the Jamaican society. From the artefacts I saw where Scamming has caused a lot of families to endure a great deal of trauma physically, mentally and emotionally. Reflection of Artefact # 2 The use of language in the artefacts has helped me to further analyze and arrive at a conclusion as it relates to scamming. In Artefact # 2 the scamming task force and the news reporter utilized simple structured sentences that appealed to me, causing me to be sympathetic towards the victims and angry towards scammers. The definition was quite effective in allowing anyone without knowledge to understand the victims that have been negatively affected by this gruesome act, their emotions has been depicted in the tone of disheartenment is the same exact feelings I experience through their disappointment and sadness in the artefacts. A lot of what has been portrayed in the artefacts as helped me to understand more scamming and the negative effects it has on vulnerable people, especially senior citizens who are often the ones gets caught in the scammers’ deceitful act as they seek out prey and execute their plan. Reflection of Artefacts # 3 The sub theme, the relationship between scamming and crime in the Jamaican society, reshaped my thoughts about scamming being the number one contributing factor of crime in the Jamaican society. Having witnessed through the artefacts how a lot of people have been scammed out of their earnings was heartbreaking. From the artefacts, I have seen where scamming has caused families to be broke and stressed, some suffer from psychological problems as a result of been scammed out of their life savings. This has really touched me emotionally I wouldn’t want anyone to feel so victimized to the extent that they commit suicide. To perpetrators who see this as a way of getting rich quick to desist from doing so, it destroys these people mentally, physically and spiritually. It has a negative impact on the Jamaican people, who seek and travel abroad, it also damper the tourism industry which is the major source of revenue for Jamaica. Plan of the Oral presentation The genre that my oral presentation will take is in the form of a poem. This poem is about scamming The reason I compiled this poem, I see where I could express myself more about this topic. I was inspired to use this genre based on videos, audios and the prints that explain how scamming as affected people. The articles I researched help me to add content to my poem because there was a lot of information I could use from the internet in my poem I will be using informal language I chose this form of language because I believe it is easily understand by majority of our Jamaican people. My oral presentation is about the relationship between scamming and crime in the Jamaican society. Sugar Coated Scammers Hey diddle diddle the scammers dem a fiddle Scamming people especially senior citizen Deception in the form of lies Untruths, unknown to most man eyes Deceit that becomes concrete A snare meant to trap its fleet Unknowingly, unsuspected get caught The wise and cunning will see through their flimsy thought A very sad story they weave in their web To skirt your defence And get into your head.

Group Report Our group choose scamming as our theme we chose several artefacts to enhance our knowledge on the topic. The audio the group as chosen is. About the consequences that scammers face when they are apprehended .the article from the internet explains that the scammers are targeting vulnerable and defenceless senior citizens in order to make themselves rich. The video is portraying that lottery scamming, a major contribution to the increase in crime and violence in the society. All three artefacts depict the extradition of the criminals who have robbed the vulnerable and defenceless senior citizen, they also pointed out the negative affects this crime had on our society. The audio spoke of when the team from the lottery task force arrested a major player in the lottery scamming. He was found with a lot of cash and several electronic devices. He was arrested in Kingston on an extradition warrant and will face charges with maximum penalty in the USA. The article from the internet is about the scammers targeting gullible and defenceless senior citizens. They did this to trick them into giving them money .these scammers continue until the victims had nothing left, which is wicked and heartless. The video showed where scamming as left the victim families stressed and disheartened. Many victims were so traumatized that they developed psychological problems, nervous breakdown and some of them even committed suicide. This is because they could not cope with their present situation. Our group was faced with many challenges. At first we did not fully understand what to do or how to structure the task of S.B.A. choosing the topic was a bit easy but choosing the sub- topic was difficult. We had to choose the appropriate videos, audios and prints to go with the sub- topic. We wrote pieces that were too long so we had to shorten them to get the correct number of words. Even though we had different personalities we put our differences aside and work together as one in order to get the S.B.A completed References The Jamaican Lottery Scam-2015.10.08 YouTube
