the main issue is that we lack a global '911'.
secondary is the effort asymmetry between spinning up one of these scams (near 0 effort) and catching/prosecuting these scams (big effort, astronomical cost)

406 MHz is pretty close [1]. If you have a radio that screams on that channel, chances are the nearest search-and-rescue operation will at least be notified.

911 is for emergencies. I don’t think the global 911 service would give any attention to a LinkedIn scam.
i used the same terminology as the parent, and i think we all know what is meant by it
what about the outcome asymmetry between spinning up one of these scams (get one guy's computer) and getting caught (jail for life)
you arent getting jail for life for this, even in the extremely remote chance you are caught. you are probably getting more than one guy's computer, though.
I’m sure they’ve gotten more than one hot wallet from out of work crypto bros. Probably a profitable venture.
I don’t know but the us kidnaps ehhh arrests people on foreign land on a regular basis… and brings them to the US to stand trial. So if it’s “important” enough it will be aced upon…
