The Day A Scam Took It All
He woke one morning,
bright and bold.
His dreams were alive,
his future untold.
With a smile, he logged on,
unaware of the game.
A click here,
a message there,
they whispered his name.
“Urgent,” they said,
“your account is at risk,
Just do this now,
it's a simple task.”
Trusting and hopeful,
he followed each line,
Believing their promise,
oh, how could he know?
In a flash, it was gone,
all his hard-earned cash.
A day’s worth of work
vanished in a flash.
His heart sank with dread,
the screen felt so cold.
What once held his future
now felt dark and old.
Friends tried to comfort,
but words felt so thin.
How do you mend
what has broken within?
Lessons learned harshly,
the price of a click.
Caught in a trap,
he felt so sick.
Now he shares his tale,
warns others to see,
How easily trust
can fade into fear.
For honesty matters
in all that we do,
And staying aware
is the best thing for you.
