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.

@Bellcose I have a sister who I have despised for most of my living memory. She is the most greedy, cowardly type one could come up against. She would be at the top of a scammers list of scammers.
