Scams and scam artists have been around for centuries. Many of today’s scams are perpetrated by criminals who are bent on stealing people’s money. These criminals often live in other states or countries and use modern technology—including throw-away cell phones and “spoofed” telephone numbers—to conceal their identity and evade law enforcement.
