Facilitate the prosecution of the int'l organisers of phone and internet fraud
Unsolicited calls are being received by thousands of UK citizens every day. Most originate abroad and are intended to trap the recipient into installing remote control software on their PC so that the caller can rifle through their 'digital life' to steal information and ultimately money.
There is little effective action that individuals can take when subjected to these scams. If caught out the scammers are abusive & threatening - if not stopped they steal from the vulnerable.
UK citizens need protection from this organised criminal activity.
If a foreign criminal attempts remote theft we should have a simple reporting setup and an associated investigative force to pursue the most reported and ultimately get those responsible jailed either here or in their own country.
