In my Advanced AI Lab we learned how this is a general trend across all aspects of scams and cybersecurity. What is even worse is how a lot of these people who are doing them are people who have been trafficked into Southeast Asia and more or less are stuck in a call center where they execute pig butchering schemes. For the most part these individuals are obviously located outside the US so the US cannot do anything but can literally see the building but the governments they are located in either A do not care or B are getting $$$ from the criminal organizations running them.

Horrific thing across the board.
