In 2014 a Jamaican phone scammer threatened to kill a retired American man named William Webster when he wouldn't fall for the scam. The scammer didn't know Webster was the former director of both the FBI and CIA. He was arrested when he flew to NYC in 2017 and sentenced to 6 years in prison.

The world’s unluckiest Jamaican phone scammer
Picked the wrong grandpa to mess with that day
Yes the resources exist to identify and catch these scammers, or at least flag them when they enter US jurisdiction
What about all the grannies getting scammed daily when there are resources to stop this? There is a huge crimewave of spam scam calls and texts
Those grannies should have thought about a career in America’s intelligence apparatus…./s
Ah, so we can trace them, depending on who they try to scam. 🤨
Funny how that works out huh? They really love to pretend that it's just "so impossible to trace these scammers" but here's a perfect example of how the scammers can be easily caught by the law. They're not insanely clever or infallible, they can be tricked just as easily as they trick their victims. They just don't want to put in the resources for us "poors"
I agree. If they put the resources into stopping scammers that they're pouring into ICE everyone would be so much better off.
This just shows how justice is only for a select few.
This doesn’t seem amazing at all…
He also owns an encyclopedia or two..
Doh!
That’s more than some real murderers actually get
Or they could have just denied the guy his visa but that would have been too easy for everyone.
Did you find this post really amazing (in a positive way)?
