Guys,
If you all want to catch those criminals, then you have to get more active please!
There are three main ways how to do so.
Investigation
This is basically what I am doing with my IP logs. It is really not that complicated, everyone can learn how to do this! I even posted a tutorial how to do this!
I logged four IP addresses, where two of them were unprotected. I always report the unprotected IP addressees to the HK police.
Reporting
It is always a highly recommended to report the crime to the local police and to the HK police.
Even if the local police says that they can't do anything because they can't investigate in abroad, the report is still very useful because you have to verify your identity for reporting and you will get a file number.
The HK Police and web hoster like GoDaddy demand for a file number of your local police because they want you to be a verified person!
You can also call the HK police on landline with the help of Skype. You can recharge the credit in Skype in order make very cheap international calls. If you call them regularly, you improve the chances that your report is not getting ignored.
Making it public
In order to protect others from this type of scam, we need to make the scam public to everyone!
For instance you can create YouTube videos, you can share it on social media, and you can even go to the press and tell them your Story! Especially those people who have lost the most, should consider reporting their story to the press.The newspaper can print your story without giving out your private information like your real name and your real address.
For my part I created a website which warns about investment scams. The website is still under construction, because I am a little overwhelmed with reporting and investigating.
People here on the forum want me to investigate, to report it, and to to make the scam public without doing anything by themselves! You can't give the full responsibility in catching those guys only to me! Please let us work as a team! Otherwise I will get overwhelmed with all the work.
Please support me in fighting those scammers!
Best Regards,
Joerg
