Decades ago I would take pleasure in tracking down phone scammers and "SWAT-ing" them. Of course I had to stop when all my favorite tactics were made specifically illegal. It was mostly pointless anyway, like stomping cockroaches on a hot night in South Carolina. However in Pakistan and Turkey you could often get some secret nasty intelligence agency involved and I shed no tears over the results. These days some global anti hacker outfits will track down nasty cybercriminals and sic local or national police on them, but there is more expense because most cops now demand payment for constructively acting on tips.
This is a digression, but my god you could always find someone at ISI that would believe any-f*n-thing, thus it's astoundingly suspicious Bin Laden hid out in Pakistan for so long without Western influence shielding him somehow.
Intelligence agencies are criminal gangs. They work for themselves first; not for the countries they operate in.
They probably get a percentage from the phone scammers and protect them.
