I dread when the scammers will start using LLMs and voice models for their scamming. They could afford so many more calls.

Keep in mind that all of these could be more or less stopped if there was any real desire to do so.

But there isn’t.

It’s much easier to take phones away from students than to stop profiting from theft.

I wonder why extradition is never even discussed. Hand over the scammers or get blocked from trade.
