Friends parents scammed. Thoughts?

I would tear the faces off the ones I came into contact with if I ever got my hands on them.

Would that not be counterproductive? Should any other crimes they are resposible for, require them to be in a ID parade, it may scupper the ID process.

Guess what - he's only been caught again! My mates mum came in the room while he was giving out bank details, told him to put the phone down, he told her to **** off and this time he got done for £5k. He was convinced that he was talking to the bank this time although he has a fractured back at the moment and is on very strong painkillers. Luckily, he was refunded by the bank again! My mate is going to get their landline disconnected as he must be on some kind of scammers list.

I haven't seen this thread. Did he get all him money back the first time?

It would make them think twice before scamming some other poor sod.

And you'd end up in clink with them.

Yep, all of it. I think there might be a bit of dementia involved as well.
