Are there any IRL stories of violent revenge on scammers and ID thieves?

I used to live in Russia. One of the biggest spammers in the world lived in Moscow and he was assasinated.

Most of them are poor people in India getting paid literal pennies.

Going after what most people dub the "scammer" will do you absolutely no good at all. There are thousands more waiting in line to take their place. They have little to no employment opportunities where they are, and they will all line up for a steady paycheck, even if it involves fricking people.


The person who owns the scam business, who rents the building, who buys the equipment is the one you want.

Making one scammer disappear accomplishes nothing at all.

That's a dumb fricking argument...so let street corner drug dealers go??? Low level child trafficking minions who snatch up 9 year olds in a parking lot, just let them walk?

Sure, you can lock them up. That is if you can identify them, then get in touch with local authorities (because no US law enforcement agency is going to do anything), then convince them to actually do something. That rarely, if ever, happens. If/when it does, and even if an operation is shut down, it only takes a few days before they are back up and running in a new location with a new group of scammers.

There’s a couple YouTube channels I’ve recently found, Scammer Payback and Trilogy media, that have been collaborating on trying to confront the scammers in California after they get an address to send cash to instead of gift cards.

Check out Pleasant Green. He has come to an entirely different approach. Watch his By D Grace of God series.

He's a Mormon (I think) from Utah, so...try not to hold that against him.
