Scam the SCAMMERs

Dr. David Soh Poh Huat’s Scam the SCAMMERs is a concise yet heartfelt exposé on the global rise of digital fraud. Through simple language and direct examples, the book uncovers the alarming spread of scams, from phishing emails to elaborate investment frauds, and calls for a united, international effort to stop them. It’s a moral call for honesty, self-awareness, and collective responsibility in an increasingly deceitful online world.

What struck me immediately was how personal this book feels. Dr. Soh doesn’t write from a distance, he writes like someone who has witnessed the damage firsthand. In “The Virus In Us,” he draws an unsettling but clever parallel between scams and disease. He’s also not just pointing fingers at criminals, he’s asking us to reflect on our own little manipulations, our daily white lies. It gives the book a unique voice, part teacher, part confessor. You can feel his frustration and his hope bleeding through the pages.

The examples of real-world scams are where this book really delivers. They’re short, punchy, and painfully familiar. The section on “Gift Cards” is timely. How many times have we heard of people buying gift cards for a stranger pretending to be a boss or relative? And the bit about “Fake Social Media Accounts” was terrifying. But the best part is that every scam is followed by calm, clear advice. No scare tactics. The tone throughout is informal like an older friend giving advice. And despite the heavy topic, it never turns preachy or overly complicated. That makes it comforting.

This book isn’t just about scams, it’s about human behavior, trust, and how technology has complicated the way we connect. I would recommend Scam the SCAMMERs to anyone who uses the internet. It’s especially useful for older folks or anyone not too tech-savvy. It’s not a tech manual. It’s not full of jargon. It’s just real talk, straight from the heart.
