So tell me how am I going to track down scammers with VOIP and fake numbers? Do you think the tax payers will fund hundreds of thousands of dollars to fly to third world countriee to arrest their citizens? Do you even think other countries even give a shit about our warrants from some podunk rural county?
And no local or county agency has the manpower, technology, or ability to track those scammers. You have no clue even the slightest about these scams.
Most of the scam companies run their calls through a VPN or VPS wih constant number changes and VOIP, sometimes stolen numbers. It's incredibly hard to trace it just through the phone. Even if you do, the scammer's country isn't going to do jack shit about it.
I just find it bullshit people who tell public servants how to do their job when they have no clue about any of it. eDgEy
