Speaking of emotional attachment, I recall from what I had watched from some documentaries in Youtube about those scammers trying to manipulate elders. From my experience talking to some elders back when I was working in a call center, most of them were really kind hearted to the conversation. Now that I heard that there were some call centers operating a scam, it's sad that they're taking advantage of these elderlies.
On the brighter side, there are scam baiters that are trying to destroy these scammers though.
They've really gone that far.
That, they have to make a CC for them to operate their scam. This is really happening and saddening but that's how they live their life with it, through a scam.
IIRC, there's a video that I've watched that someone has caught them and that channel was dealing with those scammers and he's tracking them. The channel on YT was Jim Browning.
