Men shot dead at Negril hairdressing parlour

Sorry for not being more clear... Here was the quote from youth programmes representative of the Rotary Club of Negril, Angela Haye...

"The data show that this year, Westmoreland has recorded an almost 100 per cent increase in murders. St. James has the second-highest movement, and Hanover also has significant increase. Against the backdrop of violence and killings of our young men, women and children in western Jamaica, the cause for concern is paramount. The project is aimed at enabling communities to strengthen and expand their ability to prevent and resolve disputes, thus the involvement of the community from day one to plan ahead for the January conference,"

Sounds like domestic violence is the main issue...

Earlier this year, Police Commissioner Dr Carl Williams said domestic disputes that turn deadly are among the main reasons for the hike in the murder rate this year.

That was the second quote from the article. And one article doesn't paint an accurate picture when there are many more out there.

I am doing my best to be real here. I could post dozens of more stories about the impact of the lotto scam.

Please do more research and what I posted will come into view. Domestic violence, while up with the murder/suicides will not account for the increase. Even the article you posted points that out when you read between the lines.

Many of the domestic violence incidents are more often than not related to the lotto scamming.

If you don't believe me, glean it for yourself. The lotto scamming must stop, and that means on both ends!

Rob, I believe you regarding the Lotto Scam causing violence...

Back to my original point...I hope the Peace Conference helps alleviate the recent surge in violence!

Negril was a huge part of my childhood and I love it!

I think the good in most of the people of Jamaica will overcome the bad of just a few...As long as they aren't in leadership...

Happy New Year!

Forgive me, but, what is "lotto scamming"?

Forgive me, but, what is "lotto scamming"?

Fair question considering hanging up the phone can stop it. Here is how the Wall Street Journal describes it:

Someone gets a phone number, they then call that person and say
"You have won 3-5 million dollars in the Lottery",
just send $4,000.00 U.S. to me for fees and taxes
and the money will be sent to you.

Folks Send money via Western Union, or other ways.
Some folks (the elderly) fall for this
and then continue to send thousands and thousands of dollars.
But, it is a scam PapaG.

Fake, Faux, Con, untrue....It is a lie.

[Papa Georgie]

So the victims then go after the scammers...this is the violence?

No. The victims are usually elderly who have never been to Jamaica.

The violence is in the scammer's food chain. A lot of people got their hand in all that cash. No honor among thieves
you nuh

Cap

[Papa Georgie]

OK, thanks, I think I get that. Its the cash that results from the successful scam. Up for grabs for syndicates and gangs.

OK, thanks, I think I get that. Its the cash that results from the successful scam. Up for grabs for syndicates and gangs.

And even foreigners. The greed is so bad that even victims and acquaintances of the scammers are joining forces with the "syndicates", often with bad results.

There have been incidents both here and in foreign where the "money mules" have been eliminated.

This scourge needs to stop on both ends.
