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.

But I still think if you're a victim of a scam and lose money, it's a good step to issue a police report if you can. There have been some cases where scammers were caught, and you may be the person with the information that can help catch them. I don't know the stats. I imagine it's a slim chance that your report will do anything, but I still think having that hope can sometimes keep you going.

Once Tarun got privy that this kind of scam is going out there in the wild, he became a target of this scam himself.

I think this is a brilliant way to combat this kind of scam, to do a verification check of some kind. You could ask them to confirm something that only they knew. Like, you could trick them and say something like, oh, do you remember that one summer we went to the lake together? That was fun, wasn't it? And when they say, yeah, yeah, I do. But you never went to the lake with that person.

Now you know they're lying. I know as my dad, we have some code words that if one of us is in trouble, we have to say the code word to prove it's you. And I've told him if he ever gets kidnapped and someone calls me to pay the ransom, my immediate reaction is to not believe them unless I hear the code word. So you got to tell your kidnappers the code word if you want me to send you money.

Otherwise, I'm just hanging up the phone. And he's cool with that. But stories like this really do bring my focus back to looking after our digital privacy online. And someone who knows a lot about digital privacy is Naomi.

In this story, the scammer seems to know quite a lot of information about the victim that they're targeting, right? They know this person's kids' names, where they live, what cousins they have they know from abroad, and this sort of thing. Do you have any idea where a scammer might be getting this kind of information from?

I don't think it's always your fault. Do you ever think about that of just like, we're living in this world where stuff just gets leaked and it's not your fault?

Wait, banks? Hold on a second. This banks thing is frustrating to me. I think like banks are a private sanctuary and they should not be doing this. What do you know about this?

I just recently learned about this third-party doctrine, and it's really frustrating me. Yeah, as Naomi says, the U.S. has a legal principle that says if you voluntarily give your data to another company, you no longer have the reasonable expectation of privacy. What? Excuse me? This essentially means that every email I've ever written is no longer private?
