I am not going to go into it at length here.
This is not pretty much a lengthy one huh.
1. No, my response in regards to that specific point is about empowering ordinary people to be able to spot scams through education. Nothing more, nothing less.
Even if that's the case, again education is not enough. We NEED deeper than education, that is consciousness - psychological approach. They have to realize whether if they're being deceived at that moment. Performing sales talks, even con arts.
2. Nowhere did I indicate that people with special abilities and skills won't do the tracing and tracking down (or that it will be done by ordinary people).
Ok. Why not just give support or suggest this to existing organizations that are by the way have the reputation and the people to get the job done.
3. Yes, international law is a relative term and cooperation with agencies such as Interpol can not be excluded, but efforts to ensure justice is served will not be limited or stand on their efforts alone. The idea with the proposed organization is to create a private organization that is supported by membership contributions, but actual field work - beyond the work needed to educate the public at large - will be done by setting up special task force units that have the expertise required to trace and track-down scammers on a global basis. They could be seen as private investigators operating in a highly specialized area. And yes, the approach from country to country will most likely differ, but make no mistake - there are many ways to skin a cat, just as scammers are using many ways to defraud and steal.
By ensuring justice you mean all of them, right? Well, I must admit your idea is not impossible to do and quite impressive (I mean that in a good way).
But I'm sure that one group belonged to a much larger group of people. An organization, a syndicate of some sort.
There are many things to really have to consider here. And to the fact that this is a
private organization, for sure the government will not just sit still and approve of this instantly, they will be intrigue and to the point that this is in the
global scale, not to mention that there are
already agencies like this.
These
special task force units will be questioned. This is also a political matter, what if they will consider you as a threat and not a help.
I think you will be surprised how many people with the skills required would be willing to help out, including white hat hackers.
I'm not surprise. I know, there are people that are willing to help. But you have to consider the boundaries.
What are you saying? Just because they're into the money, they should not be brought to justice? I think not.
Believe me, deception is a powerful skill. And they are bringing them to justice by those existing agencies or organization regarding the same matter. But its sad to tell that even
white hat hackers are also considered to be brought to justice (not all of them, there are some cases).
