Can a law be passed to prevent it? I’m saying no financial institution parts with money without written permission from a concerned relative. It goes against my libertarian leanings but these scammers need to experience the joys of anal sex. Unfortunately, many are as far away as Nigeria.
Laws don’t prevent crime. They punish after the fact.................
Passing laws only affects law abiding. It does not affect law breakers and criminals.
No time, man! We gots to investigate the January 6 insurrection!!
Are you seriously proposing that people past a certain age would have to get permission from some relative before having access to their own money? Speaking for myself, screw that noise. I’d trust a Nigerian scammer before most of my own relatives, and my in-laws are little better.
Better to educate people that every phone call from a stranger is a scam, no matter what they threaten or promise. Every single one, no exceptions.
