Another billion dollar scam

[Nay_Sayer]

I'm very much involved the scam-baiting world.

Really interesting stuff.  I highly recommend people search YT for Kitboga, Jim Browning, and Scammer Payback who do incredible work bringing down Indian call centers and educating people on how to avoid this stuff.

Thanks for the pointers. Have you seen James Vietch’s stuff? He was doing it for comedy more than bringing them down. He did waste a lot of their time and it’s very funny

Other than education, I haven’t seen much for one to do to combat scammers and/or human trafficking (maybe worse than the scam). Do you have any suggestions?

Can you imagine if there was a global scam that successfully bilked people out of money every week via emotional manipulation and threats of prolonged violence?

Even worse imagine if that scam network was so far-reaching it was immune to tax laws

Most scam-baiting forums are a good start. 419 eater deals with similar romance/confidence scammers

As for combating them, education is their biggest enemy. 

Story time;  A year after my father passed my mother wanted to find a companion, She changed her Facebook status to widow, Almost immediately she was talking to someone who "stumbled" onto her profile.  She was quite resistant when I told her the guy wasn't real so I sat down with her and showed her all the guy's images were stolen, and the things he was typing were all copied and pasted.

I also showed her several YouTube videos of scam victims who received similar messages.  Eventually, I got through. Fast forward to today she not only is very educated on them but has helped a few of her online friends avoid them as well.
