Internet Fraud

Why Is This Idea Important?: This would be a huge time savings for the rest of the planet. Imagine never receiving another fake notice that you've one the lottery or some rich uncle needs your bank account to move funds. It would take a load off our law enforcement as well.

Unplug from the internet, countries and internet providers who have a large amount of fraud, or computer viruses.

At a minimum start with Nigeria and Ghanda. Require the countries/companies to demonstrate an ability and willingness to actively prosecute internet fraud.

Since this would cut off internet access to legitimate businesses, you can certify legitimate businesses individually and turn them back on, either before or after the sanctions go into effect.

    sounds good, but it is too simplistic. I can see it hurting ligitimate honest folks who live there. Then there might be the problem of how you cut them off.

    I understand that some legitimate honest folks might be hurt. But they will then have to pressure their government to crack down on the fraudsters or go through the certification process to get back online. Hopefully the certification process won't be too onerous, but it will provide a clear responsibility to keep fraudsters from using their connnection.

    I think the problem of how to cut them off might be the harder one to solve, but it sure would be worth it.
