Is there an EFF or similar type "watchdog" group that could potentially get involved here at a more grass roots level? Makes me sick as well and it isn't obvious to me as far as what would be effective steps to take to begin curbing the behavior... Especially given that those being preyed upon are unlikely to have the means to defend and protect themselves legally.
