We are in agreement @basilio Victims of scams are vulnerable and there is little to be done to save them.

That ABC article is quite sad. It would appear that the only way to stop this fraud is for enough people to be scammed that it becomes common knowledge.

I cannot see Government nor police measures working because of the gullibility and/or shame factor associated with the victims.

I believe it is a cop out to say it could happen to anyone. It only happens to people with cognitive problems or innocence of the ways of the world.

And stupid enough to be sucked in by the scammers.
