First of all, there's entities there that might be able to help.
There's also entities that need to know that you have fallen victim to a type of cybercrime to be able to assess the magnitude of a phenomenon.
Imagine that, for instance, only about 7% of scams are getting reported.
Police officers all over the world are not correctly budgeted to face this phenomenon because they cannot assess its impact on the local communities.
Yes, they say that if a tree falls into a forest and nobody hears it, has it fallen?
That goes with cybercrime as well.
If you have been scammed and dozens of other people have been scammed and you have not reported it to the local law enforcement office and neither did anybody, is scamming really part of the police agency's agenda?
No, because there's technically no scamming going on.
That's why we are advising victims to report it.
It's not something that they should be ashamed of.
It's not something that they should keep it to themselves.
The more they talk about it, the more this message gets pushed on the local agenda and law enforcement agencies or other people will be able to act on it.
Thank you for this opportunity.
It's one thing to look at you religiously on the other side of the screen and a whole different experience to be part of the show.
