New York Times: Welcome to Scam World. “Welcome to Scam World, the seedy layer just beneath the world we live in every day. It’s cluttered with these bogus text messages, spam calls and phishing attempts. In Scam World, any engagement with a stranger is a risk.

The internet is moving too fast for regulators to keep up with the quickly evolving deceptions.”
