These scammers are harming innocent US citizens every day. They, too, are the enemies attacking our families.

I think it is long overdue for our government to engage against these threats. Just because they don't use guns and explosives, it doesn't mean they are harmless.

Engaging with these technology-driven evil scammers' activities has demonstrated it should become our government's job to fight back, not the mom-and-pop victims of their crimes.
