Good on Fox8 for highlighting these scams. Too many people are completely unaware of them, and the government doesn’t bother to inform anyone.
Anyway, the United States has the technology to put a man on the Moon. But evidently we are not able to cyber-attack these scammers in India, Pakistan, etc. So the scammers are free to steal from vulnerable citizens, over and over again.
One I encountered recently was on Facebook marketplace. I listed an item for sale, quickly got a response from someone wanting to buy it. He said he would send the cash, I just had to text him a code. Believe it or not, “another person” (probably him under another name) tried the same stunt the next day.
