      In my country, Italy, The police caught an Ebay scammer, but could do nothing to the guy, not even get him to refund the victims because his living standards were quite low and nothing could be legally confiscated, not even his car.
      No one goes to jail for small crimes.
      The police are not allowed to supply the name and address of the scammer to avoid revenge.

      @@JimBrowning Agreed, news channels are always looking for content like this to showcase the lack of effort from Indian Police. When people outside India have to single handedly do this task instead of an entire division of police assigned to it, News channels will definitely be interested in bringing this to the masses on prime time TV. That pressure is what makes the Indian Police get off their ass and do their job...sad reality but it is true.
      I have been a long time follower on your channel and love what you do Jim, I have a close journalist friend in Press Trust of India (PTI) and I can connect you with her if you need. She probably has even more friends in news channels. Please do lemme know what email I should send you her info on.
