I was contacted by one of these scams recently. A quick Google for key terms in the message (the "officer"'s name and the phone number) showed it to be a scam that particularly enjoyed exploiting immigrants because they are very likely to pay quickly to keep everything quiet. How they have been able to operate such a scam for years without getting arrested is beyond me.

- esmi 12y agoI doubt they're in the US. voip and one compromised something with an ethernet connection and a modem.
- MichaelGG 12y agoIt's that, plus it's not being investigated very seriously. I ran a VoIP company, and supposed federal investigators wouldn't even go through the hassle of getting s legal order for customer information. It's the same for robodialling. The FCC or anyone could put a major crimp if they wanted to, but no one really digs into complaints very much.
