Some very powerful person or company is targeting online investors, workers for financial fraud, and altering their tax records, or creating similar problems. Does anyone know why the powerful people are targeting a specific online investor?

For the amateur, they often randomly choose their victims, while some time out time to find the perfect victim to scam.

I haven't heard news like that in my country. The police officers in the Philippines work day and night to protect people's lives. Your problem there is serious. It's all about fraud most of the time. People must act, they have to fight the fraudsters.

I have fixed my smartphone which shows a fraud call which I don't receive.

They always target people that are gullible. When once you show that you are gullible, they would intensify their efforts and ultimately get you into their trap.

Scammers usually go after whoever looks easiest to manipulate. If your data shows you’re new to investing, active online, or already clicked on one shady link, you’re suddenly on their radar.

In general, financial fraudsters will choose vulnerable victims, such as retirees, those who are vulnerable, those lacking financial information, those easily tempted by large profits, or those with psychological weaknesses such as greed.

They will choose the most vulnerable people, old people, people who do not have knowledge, and people from small towns.

Sometimes they take time out to target their audience through research. From the first call you receive from them. They know whether to back off or continue contacting you
