اليوم ومع الانفتاح على العالم وتطور وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي أصبح (النصب) والاحتيال على الناس أسهل بكثير من الماضي.
فأصبح (النصابون) يدخلون للناس عبر هواتفهم، إما عن طريق إعلان، أو وصفة طبية (كذبية)، أو عملية مالية مشبوهة، وما إلى ذلك من وسائل متعددة لا يغلب النصّاب فيها من التحايل على (ضحيته)!
والمشكلة الأدهى والأمرّ ليست في عملية النصب نفسها، بل في بعض الناس «السُذج» الذين ينساقون بكل سهولة أو «غباء» خلف من يصور لهم الحياة بلون وردي حتى لو وعدهم بالثراء أو الشفاء أو النجاح في غضون بضعة أشهر.
قد تبدأ الحكاية بإعلان: «تخلص من الكرش في 7 أيام دون رياضة أو حمية أو جراحة»!
ثم يظهر شاب مفتول العضلات، يبتسم بثقة ويمسك في يديه علبة مكتوباً عليها: (شاي أحرق كرشتك)!
يشتريه الضحية ويشربه شهراً كاملاً، والشيء الوحيد الذي يحترق فيه هو صبره، أما (كرشته) فهي في ازدهار.
وغيره ما أن يقرأ إعلاناً عن «منتج سحري» يعالج كل شيء في وقتٍ واحد (سبحان الله)، «حب الشباب، والكلف، والبقع، وربما أزمة منتصف العُمر» إلا وسارع واشتراه، وإذا سأل البائع عن مكونات هذا المنتج لقال له بكل ثقة وكأنه طبيب مُتمرس: «كلها منتجات وأعشاب طبيعية 100% مستخرجة من عُشبة نبتت تحت شجرة في «جُزر الواق واق»، تحت ضوء القمر، ولا نقطفها إلا ليلة اكتماله للفائدة»!!
وبعد التجربة؛ يُصاب الضحية بمرض جلدي خطير نتيجة لاستخدامه مواد غير مرخصة أو صالحة للاستخدام البشري أساساً.
والبعض الآخر من الضحايا قد ينساقون خلف النصّابين الذين يوهمون الناس ويعدونهم بالثراء السريع من بعد الاستثمار معهم، ثم ينصبون عليهم ويسرقون أموالهم ويختفون.
فإذا كان هناك شخص عاقل لفكّر لماذا لا يستثمر هؤلاء النصابون أموالهم ويحققون أرباحاً خيالية لأنفسهم بدل أن يتسولوا من الناس الاستثمار معهم ثم يبيعوا لهم أحلامهم وأموالهم؟!
أما في عيادات الإنترنت الطبية، فهناك أشخاص يدّعون العلاج بالبخور والزيت، ووصفت هذه الممارسات بأنها من شيم المشعوذين والدجالين لما فيها من استغلال لحاجات الناس للعلاج دون أسس علمية أو شرعية.
وعلى ذمة إحدى الصحف؛ أعلنت وزارة الصحة منذ عام 2017 عن إيقاف معالج شعبي كان يدعي علاج الأمراض باستخدام الكي دون ترخيص رسمي، وقد تسبب هذا المعالج في إصابة أحد المرضى بتشوهات جسدية خطيرة، وقد تمت إحالته للجهات المعنية.
وهناك بعض المُسوقين للبرامج الغذائية التي تدعي أنها تنظف الكبد، والكلى، والدم، وربما حتى السُمعة، يبيعون للناس مشروبات مثل «الشاي والقهوة» محضرة بنباتات غريبة قد تضر من يشربها وتملأ (مصارينه) بالبلاوي.
على كل حال؛ عزيزي القارئ تذكر دائماً، لا يوجد دواء قد يذهب كرشتك في يوم وليلة، ولا استثمار سوف يجعلك مليونيراً في بضعة أشهر، إلا إذا كنت حالماً جداً، أو نائماً جداً.

Today, with the openness to the world and the development of social media, (scamming) and defrauding people has become much easier than in the past.
Scammers now enter people's lives through their phones, whether through an advertisement, a fake medical prescription, or a suspicious financial operation, among various other means where the scammer does not struggle to deceive their (victim)!
The more serious problem is not the act of scamming itself, but rather some "naive" people who easily or "foolishly" follow those who paint life in rosy colors, even if they promise them wealth, healing, or success within a few months.
The story might begin with an advertisement: "Get rid of your belly in 7 days without exercise, diet, or surgery!"
Then a muscular young man appears, smiling confidently while holding a box labeled: (Tea that burns your belly)!
The victim buys it and drinks it for a whole month, and the only thing that burns is their patience, while their (belly) continues to thrive.
Others, as soon as they read an advertisement about a "magical product" that treats everything at once (Glory be to God), "acne, blemishes, spots, and perhaps even mid-life crises," rush to buy it. If they ask the seller about the ingredients of this product, he confidently responds as if he were an experienced doctor: "All are 100% natural products and herbs extracted from a plant that grew under a tree in 'the islands of Waq Waq,' under the moonlight, and we only pick it on the night of the full moon for maximum benefit!"
After the experience, the victim suffers from a serious skin disease due to using unlicensed or unsafe materials for human use.
Some other victims may fall for scammers who deceive people and promise them quick wealth after investing with them, only to scam them, steal their money, and disappear.
If there were a rational person, they would wonder why these scammers do not invest their own money and achieve fantastic profits for themselves instead of begging people to invest with them and then selling them their dreams and money?!
As for online medical clinics, there are individuals who claim to treat ailments with incense and oil, and these practices have been described as traits of charlatans and fraudsters for exploiting people's needs for treatment without scientific or legitimate foundations.
According to one newspaper, the Ministry of Health announced in 2017 the suspension of a folk healer who claimed to treat diseases using cauterization without official licensing, and this healer caused one patient to suffer from severe physical deformities, and he was referred to the relevant authorities.
There are also some marketers of dietary programs that claim to cleanse the liver, kidneys, blood, and perhaps even reputation, selling people drinks like "tea and coffee" prepared with strange plants that may harm those who consume them and fill their (intestines) with troubles.
In any case, dear reader, always remember, there is no medicine that can make your belly disappear overnight, nor an investment that will make you a millionaire in a few months, unless you are very dreamy or very asleep.
