i still try to ip ban their accounts or smt or even hardware

Ip bans are useless just so you know in the world of VPN and changing IP addresses. Hardware bans as well since spoofers exist and with a single click you can get unbanned.

And the sad part about VPNs is that they can very easily fall into the hands of trolls who are not only well-off, but also get around each and every ban without actually receiving any and all repercussions.

Using a platform like Discord that does not enforce its own rules and terms is pretty negligent. The terms are even available for everyone. They even list some authorities that users can contact.

Oh, wait a minute. Why does that sound familiar?

So if rules and terms are not enforced by the platform operators, there are not many effectively options left.

The only weapon against scams is common sense.

Nothing you can do will ever stop them. It's simply up to the people to not fall for some of the absolutely insane and nonsensical BS they pull.

You don't need a VPN to avoid IP bans in 99% it's enough to reconnect your router.

squeaky, i know that thats why i put the '' i want to find the scammers and put an end to them

Oh wow, I can send you a plan ticket to India if you like, you just have to figure out how to find them out of millions of people. I'm kidding btw.

But for real if we could stop scammers permanently we would've done it already.

Scammers often use VPNs, they use many devices, and group of scammers always move to different buildings. Look up phone scams documentaries for India they have hard time cracking down on them, takes months to just crack one group, but two more take their place always.

So it's a never ending cycle.

Only if they have a dynamic IP and majority of people do have them , it becomes tricky to do so if you live in a apartment complex where you need to plug in just ur pc to the wall to get on-line and it maintained by the building owner so you don't have access to the equipment.

Luckily, I don't live in an apartment, I live in a duplex house.
