Good start. Next, put the people running these scam phone providers in jail.

Yes! Easy to forget that just because "we" don't fall for them, they're still incredibly harmful to our seniors and other vulnerable populations.

Also hate the scam "work from home for $125,000 per year" texts. They really prey on the desperate.

I know a gal whose grandmother sent ~400k to scammers, which is the kind of victim they are looking for - someone in cognitive decline who is malleable. The neighbors apparently also were preying on her, and ended up with her cars and a bunch of other stuff.

Absolute scum of the earth.
