Assignment 9a: Testing the Hypothesis part 2

Assignment 9a: Testing the hypothesis part2.

Who: During my interviews, I’ve noticed some people that were outside of my market. It surprised me at first but by talking to more people, I realized how interesting it was. For example, one of the groups that will not in my market are those who shop online, and only interact with people that they know on social media so that they can’t be affected by scammers.

Another group was the group of police officers. After interviewing one guy who is a police officer, he stated that he probably won’t be worried about it since he is less likely to be a victim, as the scammers are scared of them, and they are trained to catch criminals like scammers.

The third group is the one for old people who don’t even know how to shop online, or how to use social media.

What: It was a great experience for me. Knowing that those who are concerned are being victimized still, the outside group I just discovered showed that they are not concerned, or they are less concerned. It is true because all these groups (don’t shop online, police officers, old people) are less likely to be some victims, but I believe that one of their family members might be victimized in future.

Why: I think these groups are less likely to come across a scammer. And some of them such as those who don’t shop online and don’t interact with unknown people are taking the necessary ways to avoid being victimized, which is great. The old people just don’t know what is going, and I believe that they should be informed about it so they can protect their kids and gran kids that use online platforms, and the police officers should be concerned as well since they can also have their family members affected. Thus, I think all of the outside and inside groups are concerned one way or another.

Inside the boundary	Outside the boundary
Those who uses online platforms	Police officers that scared the criminals, old people that don’t use online websites or apps,
The need is to protect those who can be the next victims by requiring some personal information before subscribing and creating an app that can verify and account and prevent the numerous creations of fake accounts.	The people that are outside of the box needs to be informed about the fact that the issue does not only concern them, but their family members as well, so they can also fight against it.
The need exists because nowadays, the form and number of scams are only increasing and it has to be stopped. Also, people can’t stop using those online platforms.	I think that not interacting with anyone you don’t know online will solve the problem, but that is not possible for people that want to be famous.
