If you keep up with the latest Internet news you would know. The FBI has recently arrested 5 of the biggest of these criminals.



Many of the Phishing Scams are conducted by organized crime orginizations. Some are in the U.S., but most are in other countries. This makes it difficult, but the FBI is doing a great job with them.

The government hunts for them but a lot of these scams are not even here in the U.S. Some of the scams are being done in countries we don't have very good relations with.
