I suppose one can then declare the mission accomplished: zero scammers left on the planet.

Also known as "advertising".

Reminds me of a small part of Neal Stephenson's "Anathem".

Or maybe a bit of Peter Watts' Rifters trilogy.

The fact that the scammer was in Russia was pretty credible. It'd be pretty odd for a scammer in Myanmar to alter the metadata to appear as to be from Russia and not from Kazakhstan as the "woman" claimed to be.

Good point.

Man, not even slaves are needed for scams anymore. Sad to see job losses even there... /s
