Warnings and education are vital to combatting Advance fee scams, but we need to do something reactive to catch perps and possibly even return lost funds to victims. It is an international problem that needs a cooprative, international effort. Suggestions anyone
I agree, and it was because of that Scam Victims United was born. My hope was that we could not only warn and educate people about the scam, but gather enough people who would support our mission and we could join together to ask our government to make changes to protect others from becoming victims.
Ideas such as petitions or gathering in one place to make a bigger statement have been suggested, but at the time we were still only a group of about 100 people. I think now we might have the numbers to actually make some people listen.
