Well, if the scammers are not grabbing people's details from social media, what other methods are there to get info on someone? Tarun kept watching videos about these scammers on Facebook and noticed something in one video. In one scam call, the victim was like, no, no, no, I'm no sucker. I'm not getting scammed by you.

Dang, think through your family relatives for a moment. You think there's anyone in your family or friends that would give your details to a scammer in hopes to make a few hundred dollars from it? I mean, your family wouldn't be scamming you directly. They'd only be giving information about you, like what city you're in or what children you have, what jobs you have.

Just enough information to impersonate you on a basic level. And of course, phone numbers. I know there are people in my family that may do it. One of my cousins is currently homeless. And last we spoke, we got into a fight. Who knows what that kid's out there doing for cash right now? I don't know.

I just think that this is wild, that scammers are getting caught in the act, but then offering to pay you for information on any targets that you can give them, offering 25% of the cut even. And you know, now that I think of it, that's probably a scam too. If you give them information, you are probably never going to see your cut of the money.

So people in Punjab who are scammed for more than $10,000 can submit an FIR. And that's the first incident report, which is the first thing you should do to register an issue with the police in India. But then a lot of times, nothing happens of it. I guess this is why it's rising in popularity, because it's so easy to get away with.

I don't even understand the border situation enough down there to know what region has jurisdiction over each other, or if anything can be done about this. I mean, suppose they do track this to be someone from Pakistan. Can the Indian police arrest someone in Pakistan? Would the Pakistani police do something with that information? I have no idea.
