Should have done this 20 years ago…
Yawn.
They should have been doing this since the mid 90’s when the scam was heating up on the elderly
AT LEAST THEYRE DOING SOMETHING NOW. should’ve been done sooner but this is still good
So more sticker at the ATM telling them not to wire money to their estranged sons
Some indian scam centers have divisions where they train recruits to speak fluent japanese. They’re alot more successful than targeting north americans
Not only elderly..work out for everyone !
