Scammers are an online threat — a form of warfare often tied to human trafficking that has global consequences. Countries such as South Korea and the USA have launched severe crackdowns. What penalties do you think could help dismantle these operations?

Here are the answers of the Top 5 finalists including the winning answer from Miss Grand Philippines:

Miss Grand Ghana – Faith Porter

“Online scamming is one of the most dangerous issues facing our society. That is why it is more important than ever that we teach technological advocacy. I’m grateful to be a part of the Miss Grand Ghana organization that provides technology certificates to young women in our country. Because now more than ever, it is important to use technology as a force for good instead of hate. And through education, we can stop these actions. Thank you.”

Miss Grand Venezuela – Nariman Battikha

“Every day we wake up, we work for our dreams, for us, and for people we love. We don’t deserve to be taken everything we possess just for power. Therefore, we have to stop this situation. Remember, the legacy we leave depends on the action that we take today. So, the penalty for me will be that I have to return every money they take from others, because if we work, we deserve to live the way we live.”

Miss Grand Thailand – Sarunrat Puagpipat

“Everyone loves their own life and loves their country. Scammer should be received the severest punishment, namely death. And their money should be returned to the victim’s family. Our world would be a better place without people like you, scammers. Thank you.”

Miss Grand Spain – Aitana Jiménez

“Scammers is a big problem that the society — all the world — live in. As your next Miss Grand International, I will put more hard work to avoid these problems. Providing mental health support and programs, I would like to help people and recover from trauma. Thank you.”

Miss Grand Philippines – Emma Tiglao

“As someone who reports this kind of stories, I really want to use the power of balance, ask people to be educated and aware for us to not be scammed, and the help of the government to enhance their justice system for the scammers to be behind bars, to be accountable. ’Cause one day I hope that we will live in a peaceful, peaceful world where no one should deceive just to survive.”
