A technical solution without the will or ability to enforce it will ultimately be unsatisfying. I remember an old group https://www.419eater.com/ (I guess it is still there). They basically "waste the scammers time". The scams rely on low effort ways to find the target, robocalls, emails, etc. But once the target is found they have to put real effort into implementation. With AI, this will only become easier on their end.

I would look into solutions that would make it harder for them. Like AI chatbots that act like targets, both text and voice. If the majority of their efforts end up being weeks of conversation with an AI before they figure it out then it will not be worth the effort.

Right now it may take them hours to find a viable target then days to extort them. Make it take longer, until it is more lucrative to get a legitimate job.

I used to think it was fun to mess with scammers... but I think these days many of them are forced into it. Basically they are lured in with reasonable sounding job offers then once they find themselves in another country with only their "employer" look out for them, they basically become slave labor.

You need to hurt the ones trapping the slaves that run the scams, and your weapon is the same as theirs... technology.
