African "Orphanages " The New Nigerian prince

[John]

There is this phenomena in parts of Africa of young single men running "orphanages" and using social media to beg for money with hard luck stories of one or more of the kids needing life saving treatment etc. The truth is that the kids usually aren't really orphans and the young man owner uses the bulk of the donations to buy himself designer clothes, the latest iPhone and codeine cough syrup. Should we feel sorry for people who fall for such a scam or should we laugh at them?

We should try and educate them on the dangers of online scams.
