Is there a job out there to catch these scammers and you know what I am talking about because it sounds as if?

Question

it would be a very heavy industry? I know I would quit everything to catch those people and lock them up?

Answer 1

Aren't you gung ho ! Wish my local police dept had YOUR attitude.

Answer 2

There are various government agencies that investigate a lot of the companies. Its hard because they get shut down and the people (the ones that didn't get caught) move on to another area and start a new scam. Sometimes a company shuts down and moves before they can be investigated. That's why it is crucial for the victims to report the scams even if it is for a small amount of money. Its also very important for people to check with the government agencies for fraud and scam as well as the BBB before sending money to a company. I'd rather have my company investigated and found to be 100% legal every time, then to have rumors of it being a scam- I'd have legal proof that we are legit.

Answer 3

I think they are uncatchable. Thanks to the Internet they could be anywhere in the world, China, Russia, Iran, Korea, Germany (to name just a few places they have been found running these scams). it is never obvious who has jurisdiction, whether what they did was a crime in wherever they live. who is getting a share of the money stolen, and where they would be brought to go on trial.

When the Internet was started no one thought that it could become a perfect conduit for criminals to slide into everyone's wallet. It could take years for the laws and the technology to be able to block those scammers.

Answer 4

Good question. I suppose every country's government is working in collaboration with various agencies both within and outside their jurisdictions, to track down those engaging in advance fee fraud, popularly known as "419."

However, my advice to you is this: Always verify (conduct a background check) before accepting any business proposals, or even before giving out your personal information.

If all of us could adhere to the above advice, then, we could not be scammed.

There was a guy on tv tonight that plays games with them, he never sends them any money, but just keeps dangling the bait to waste their time. He figures if he is wasting their time, then they have less of it to scam someone.
