Insight into the workings of phone scams

Apparently, there's such a thing as an "aggregation agency" that "collects the phone numbers of vulnerable people, rings them, probes their weak points and then puts them in touch with the appropriate predator, who pays a fee for the service".

The rest of the article, covering low little help there is for scam victims, makes for pretty depressing reading.

Hmm. Two "pending moderator approval" posts. Seems the trolls really don't like this information getting out.

Nor do the shills.
The nice thing is that your post is back in the rotation thanks to the shrolls and there is a chance good people will get valuable info.
