    The people doing the calls are overwhelmingly impoverished, but the people running the centers are absolutely wealthy and connected.

      not always, but even in the cases where it is like that, these scumbags know what they’re doing, they know they’re trying to steal from people through fraud. Several of my family members with dementia were scammed repeatedly by the same scammers

      you know what else? scammers share information about their victims with other scammers, usually through facebook groups, whatapp and/or telegram

      and when they’re first setting up RD on the victim’s PC, they set up several of them, including ConnectWise.
