Is it just me or is there fantastically more fraud these days than a decade or two ago? Any transaction feels like walking around in northern Canada during black fly season.
I receive several cold scam calls per day and I’ve known people who have done things like purchase a home and been inundated by fake calls from “the underwriter” and other scams.
Is there no mail and telemarketing fraud enforcement any more?

- hnick 6y agoWe're definitely getting more of the Chinese robocalls and other SMS spam here in Australia too. I think there are two sides to it: scammers like everyone else are feeling the pinch from reduced economic activity, and desperate people are easier to scam. A lot of scams do feel like low hanging fruit that would be easy to track down. I think there is a lack of will and capability for resolving "small" scams of up to a few thousand dollars which can be crippling for individuals.
