  > We know from Nigerian email scams that these things can stretch out days, weeks, months, all to get the victim to do the thing.

the real issue i think is using technology to stop a non-technology problem (scams) as that is a society problem

but it seems govts arent interested or incapable of solving the causes (education, opportunity, destitution, etc etc) and probably also influx of scams from sanctioned countries (again a society/world level problem) that cant participate in the world trade etc...

so they lean on the technology companies to lockdown things more because what else can they do?
