In Kansas, during the height of the pandemic we were No. 1 for unemployment fraud. The Kelly Administration blamed it on an outdated computer system. However, the real cause was laziness and incompetence on the part of Laura Kelly and her administration, who simply didn't take the problem seriously, even after multiple warnings by the feds, that organized crime would be getting involved.
This, even AFTER Laura Kelly HERSELF had her identity stolen.
I wrote a whole series of stories on this.. below is the most recent.
I wonder how many vulnerable elderly have lost their entire savings to these scammers. I know they've tried to get me a couple of times with scams, but I try my damndest to stay up to date on the latest phishing attempts. I will also use the Voigt Kampff questions to see if I can prompt a nonsensical response.
A huge portion of those victimized are elderly. It horrifies me. They’re vulnerable because of their love for their families, their lack of knowledge about computers and current scams… it breaks my heart.

Thanks for posting this. Government response to fraud has been sluggish, torpid, and slack.
