Anyone ever watch that program ( I think its called scam interceptors or similar ) ? There is a handfull of cleaver people with computers that intercept scam callers from India who are trying to get vulnerable people, usually old ( or stupid ) to part with all their savings . They persuade them to withdraw all their money  then to and post it to a " safe house " somewhere near by telling them that their bank account has been hacked and it will be safe where it is . It then gets sent on to India never to be seen again . The scam interceptors are often successful but not always and the scam callers are usually in India . 

Scum bags. Tbh I don't know how they are withdrawing their savings as it's bleeding difficult to withdraw more than a couple of grand from a branch these days without a letter from God. 

 

I've seen a few vids on SM were the good guys have hacked into the scammers computers, how genuine they are I don't know but I hope it's true. 😄

My wife is a social worker and she has 30 cases when she should only have 12. She works in child services as well. Its easy to blame social workers but they are short staffed and underfunded.

There have been a few where the scammers have got away with it and one where the good guys were desperately trying to get through to one old guy who it turns out had been turned over once before in the past and was stringing them along .
