You're being downvoted, but I hear where you're coming from. Phone scammers make my blood boil like little else does.
Frankly, be better if you just killed the guy. Now this guy has to decide between food and meds because his SSI doesn't cover it all. And his savings are gone.
I feel like you should ask the guy his opinion on the subject. He's likely to disagree.
Furthermore, I doubt that the guy running the illegal scam operation, a type of operation that literally everyone hates, is an example of a crime that the public thinks is right and proper.
