Nowadays, Scammers come at you from every angle! Phone calls, emails, snail mails, pop up ads, Google Ads.

It is like one has to wear Armor to be in our current reality. Knowledge is Power, so I support your message and information, and also try to spread the word to folks.

The worst part of all of this is that it makes us all (at least I am), less trusting of Anyone these days (close friends excepted).

I did a search on You Tube for Scam Baiters. These are heroes that take the time to fight the onslaught on mostly elderly victims. Many of these scammers - if not most - are from other countries. India has call centers that have a night shift that scams the US.

Because these scammers are from other countries, it is very difficult to get any kind of justice. Local police are limited in what they do, and in most cases, the victim has to give permission for the access. Also, there is a lot of police corruption - in India for example - and notifying their local police usually has no real effect,

So if anyone is interested, here are a bunch of different 'Scam Baiters' who put out content on You Tube. My favorite is ScammerPayback. This team has actually been able to see some Justice. The other favorite of mine is Trilogy Media, they have been effective in other areas as well for getting some kind of justice with the local police.
