Do you notice that there are more and more scammers these days?
Not just those e-mails from Nigeria or those phone calls you get claiming that you family member needs money.
But people who are supposedly "established' members of society who run companies or organizations, take peoples' money or who get people to invest money and conveniently disappear when the going gets tough or when it suits them.
These include directors of publicly listed companies, people who run or ran spas, people who run so-called investment schemes, etc etc.
I don't know whether the authorities are trying to get hold of these people and make them accountable, as most of them are personally very wealthy despite the organizations they used to run being in financial dire straits. Even if the authorities are doing something, it seems that the scammers are not being held accountable.
Is there something we can do to get the scammers and make them accountable?
