Zara's story is a painful reminder that justice delayed is justice denied.

We demand answers, we demand transparency, and above all, we demand justice. Zara’s voice will not be silenced. Together, we stand to ensure that the truth is heard and that real change follows.

Understanding Scammers: Who They Are and How to Stay Safe
In today’s increasingly digital world, scammers have evolved from shady street hustlers into sophisticated cybercriminals. Their tactics have grown smarter, their reach wider, and their impact more devastating. But at the heart of every scam is the same objective: to deceive and exploit others for personal gain.
Scammers can operate individually or as part of large criminal networks. Some pose as tech support agents, government officials, or romantic interests. Others send phishing emails, fake job offers, or fraudulent investment opportunities. No matter the method, the goal is always to trick the victim into giving up money, personal information, or access to accounts.
One of the most common types of scams today is the phishing scam, where an attacker impersonates a trusted entity—like a bank or online service—to lure someone into clicking a malicious link. This can result in stolen passwords, drained bank accounts, or even identity theft. Romance scams are another growing concern, especially on dating apps and social media, where scammers prey on vulnerable individuals looking for companionship. After building trust, they often fabricate a crisis and ask for money.
Then there are investment scams, often disguised as high-return opportunities in cryptocurrency or real estate. These scams frequently use fake testimonials or social proof to create urgency and credibility. Victims are lured into transferring money with the promise of major profits—profits that never materialize.
Even more disturbing is the rise of impersonation scams, where scammers spoof phone numbers or email addresses to make it seem like they’re calling from a legitimate source—like the IRS, police, or even a relative in distress. These tactics exploit fear and confusion to pressure people into acting quickly without thinking.
Scammers often target those they perceive as most vulnerable: the elderly, immigrants, or people unfamiliar with technology. However, anyone can fall victim. That’s why education and awareness are critical.
Here are some basic tips to protect yourself from scammers:
Never share personal or financial information with someone you don’t know or trust.
Verify the identity of people or companies before responding to requests, especially if they are unsolicited.
Be skeptical of urgency in messages—scammers often use high-pressure tactics to force quick decisions.
Use multi-factor authentication (MFA) on your online accounts to add an extra layer of security.
Report scams to local authorities or organizations like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) if you suspect something suspicious.
At the end of the day, scams succeed not because people are foolish, but because scammers are skilled manipulators. They use emotion—fear, love, greed—to override logic. Recognizing these tactics is the first step toward protecting yourself and your community.
Remember: if something feels off, trust your instincts. It’s better to ask questions and be cautious than to fall into a trap.
