    My office is in Salt Lake, Sec V, Kolkata..we've got several companies in the same building, last week we've received a message from the facility manager asking us to report any illegal activities related to online scam and this one was from local cyber crime cell. Thanks *Strong widget on the internet.* This thing is happening for real. Keep up with your good work.

    As an Italian, I honestly feel so ashamed on behalf of these jobless scammers, cheating people for their hard earned money. And when they're targeted, look how easily they gaslight the victim and start abusing. I hope all your page reach as many people as it can and teach them not to pick up calls from unknown scam phone numbers in the first place, so that they're safe and don't get scammed.
    You do a great service to everyone here in the Italy taking out these lowlifes. Keep up the amazing work *Strongwidget* , You Are one of a kind….

      They’re not “scammers” in the traditional sense. CNN has a story on their front page about this. One of the men who was kidnapped into this spoke to CNN and said he thought he was taking a job doing something else, but was held against his will in these compounds. He managed to get out, but so many others are behind. He said if they don’t make enough money, they’re physically beaten into submission. How we can help? Don’t engage with the text message. At all. On Reddit, on the ScamBait subreddit, thousands of people share their conversations with these scammers. We think wasting their time is fun. But for those who were kidnapped and forced into this, it’s literally a matter of life or death. We can help by not engaging.

      [repost] I too once fell for a dating scam. a pretty girl from the Philippines tried to scam me on the phone through a popular dating app taken to WhatsApp for "the girlfriend experience." promising compliments, love, sex, parties, nights out (the works.) she ended up stealing $150 worth from me. I got revenge by reporting her account to pay-pal which got her banned and the money partly recovered. Turns out she was a "pseudo-account." (an account that uses a real person but has more than one user on it.) Basically her and her actual live-in boyfriend was dope-fiends that would use her accounts to laundry stolen money to her dating agency pimp. These romance scammers always sell you the dream of perfect love, or guilt free hook ups, or returned love, returned investments while toying with your feelings to take money from their victims. "I promise I'll call later, just send me another money load for data." "If you invest this crypto - I'll get a plane ticket to see you." blah blah blah. But really, they are con-artists who manipulate anyone just to have access to more money. Remember this, with real love, is always free because true love is unconditional. It does not cost a thing for a hug or kiss, it doesn't cost a thing to feel loved being appreciated. It feels human.
      my advice to anyone who stumbles upon this reading it, is if you have to pay for it then you lost your money.
