And even if you can both track them down and hand evidence of wrongdoing on a silver platter to law enforcement in their jurisdiction, often the places these criminals operate out of were selected specifically because their justice system is corrupt and easily bribed. Often, these fraudsters can even talk local politicians into seeing their (cover) businesses as “important local industries, employing local citizens, generating taxable income, and making charitable donations.”
This is the strategy used by the harder-to-kill scam call-centres in India; certain cities in India (I believe Hyderabad?) have been repeatedly handed damning evidence of criminal acts by scammers operating there, but it gets swept under the rug every time. When a big-enough stink is made that it makes their own local news, they just give the criminals a slap on the wrist or lest (e.g. an arrest on low bail that they easily afford to pay, with the case then being dropped before it ever goes to trial, as soon as it’s out of the news.)
The US has the power to really cause damage to India (and well any other country). They can cause a stink on the UN front and if that does not work, escalate financially like they do to countries like Iran. Its just not that important for the extremely old and corrupt leadership at the top to care about though. I suspect once someone from the internet generation takes the presidency, there will be some chance of something changing.
