Honestly this is the biggest mistake.
My wife recently got a voice mail from a dude claiming to be a police officer. She was suspicious and instead of calling him back she called the police office directly and found out no officers there have that name or number.
Scamming is increasing on many fronts. People have to be skeptical and careful. It seems like I have a friend of family member telling me about a scam attempt every couple of weeks.
Law enforcement is both inequiped and unmotivated to stop it. That is not gonna change. I don't see legislation fixing this either. We just have to be educated and help those in our circles.
I'm active in my small community and we hear our local community contact from the county Sheriff warn us about scams every month. The weaknesses aren't unfixable. People just don't understand it yet. I think most just still think there should be some easy fix that doesn't require thinking and changing behavior.
I've been thinking about offering a free workshop for my church regarding online security. Basic stuff. Not sure how many would be interested but I think it's worth trying.
Church workshop is a great idea. If you help one person, the world is a better place for financial security

My wife agrees :) Also considering a bitcoin workshop as well. Later

It would be great if there was such a workshop and in your church, in my case it would obviously be to seek information about this type of scam and be able to get more knowledge of the subject and be safer in front of these cases. I have been a victim of it and it is really unpleasant to be deceived. but in these experiences we learn thanks to the Lord to be more cautious, because we are sheep in the midst of wolves. Thank you for sharing
