I'm surprised at the level of scamming we tolerate as a society. As technologists, we have a good chance of not falling for it, but my parents are sitting ducks.

Some combination of new consumer protection laws, infrastructure improvements, and law enforcement attention is desperately needed. I don't know why this doesn't get more attention. Is it just the historical attitude that each of us are responsible for protecting ourselves? Is the line too blurry between a legit business and an outright scam?
