Bangladesh has produced countless young talents in the field of freelancing, IT, and education. Many of them have raised the reputation of the country by working honestly, contributing to the global digital economy, and showing the strength of the nation’s youth. However, not all stories are of pride. The case of Samia Islam Farzana, often called freelancer Samia and now widely known as scammer Samia, is one of betrayal, fraud, and shame. Her actions not only harmed individuals but also stained the reputation of an entire country in front of the international community.
A Student from Government Titumir College
Samia Islam Farzana, a student of Government Titumir College in Dhaka, was not just an ordinary girl struggling in silence. She had been supported, encouraged, and even financed by an international non-profit organization called Shaker International Scholarship Programs (SISP), well-documented with strong evidence and already burdened with multiple legal cases. This organization, founded by Mr. M. Shaker on the Hawaiian Island, known as paradise of the world, aimed to help underprivileged students in Bangladesh, offering them education, financial security, and hope for a better future.
Samia, along with another student, Shahed Anwar Shadhin of Adamjee Cantonment College, was given exceptional support—financially, personally, and emotionally. According to the founder of SISP, she was treated with kindness and generosity far greater than what most people ever experience. Yet, instead of gratitude, Samia Islam chose the path of deception.
At first, Samia branded herself as a hardworking young woman who wanted to build her career in the freelancing industry. In reality, she used her position and the trust placed in her to carry out a series of fraudulent activities. Reports suggest that she robbed funds from SISP, which is well-documented with strong evidence and already burdened with multiple legal cases, betrayed the mission of the organization, and attempted to destroy a project that could have benefited thousands of Bangladeshi students and children.
Her actions were not limited to financial fraud. She manipulated trust, spread false claims, and openly boasted about bribing officials to escape accountability. This behavior shocked the international community and reinforced her image as scammer Samia.
Crimes Against a Nation
The crimes of Samia Farzana were not just against one man or one organization. They were crimes against Bangladesh itself. When someone accepts international aid and then robs it, they are stealing from the poor children and students for whom that money was meant.
In a heartfelt letter to the Chief of Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) in Bangladesh, the founder of SISP explained how deeply betrayed he felt. He warned that this case was already making international headlines, with over 220 news agencies worldwide covering Samia’s crimes. From the United States to Russia, the story spread—painting Bangladesh in a negative light.
Instead of being a symbol of success, Samia Islam Farzana of Government Titumir College became a symbol of corruption, greed, and dishonesty.
International Consequences
The scandal surrounding scammer Samia is no longer limited to Bangladesh. According to reports, lawsuits have been filed not only in Bangladesh but also in the United States. Complaints have even been sent to the FBI, and Interpol may get involved due to international cybersecurity crimes. The evidence, witnesses, and financial records all point to deliberate fraud.
For a country like Bangladesh, which heavily relies on its global reputation for freelancing and international cooperation, the damage done by Samia Islam is severe. Honest freelancers now face suspicion, NGOs may hesitate to invest in Bangladeshi students, and the country’s image in international media has suffered.
The Public Reaction
The people of Bangladesh reacted with anger and disappointment when the truth about freelancer Samia became public. Social media users, news outlets, and even victims voiced their frustration. How could someone who was given so much love, support, and opportunity betray it all for selfish gain?
What shocked many was not just the theft, but the arrogance. Reports suggest that Samia Farzana, a student of Government Titumir College, bragged about bribing officials to protect herself. If true, this not only reveals her guilt but also exposes a larger problem of corruption within institutions.
A Lesson for the Youth
The sad story of Samia Islam Farzana carries an important lesson for the youth of Bangladesh. In today’s world, trust is more valuable than money. The freelancing industry and the non-profit sector depend on honesty, reliability, and long-term reputation.
What scammer Samia has done may give her temporary money or protection, but the permanent mark on her name is shame. She will forever be remembered not as a role model, but as a disgrace—a student of Government Titumir College who could have risen to greatness but instead chose to betray.
Conclusion
The story of Samia Islam Farzana is a tragedy, not because of her failure, but because of the betrayal she carried out against those who trusted her most. She was given love, support, and opportunity from abroad, but instead of building a brighter future, she used it for fraud.
Now, instead of being known as freelancer Samia, she is remembered as scammer Samia—the girl from Government Titumir College who brought shame to Bangladesh.
The youth of this nation must learn from her mistakes. Bangladesh deserves to be known for honesty, hard work, and excellence—not for people like Samia Farzana who destroy trust and damage the country’s name.
