The people doing the calls are overwhelmingly impoverished,

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.
