Noticed a lot of articles about how fast the police react against phishing scams in the past few days.

However, my personal experience with IO when I reported a case to SPF was that for many years, they were reluctant to handle it. They simply wanted to reduce their workload. There are many types of phishing and now then they willing to take actions.
Back then, without investigation, the IO told me that me that they had no jurisdiction for overseas phishing scams that targeted me, Singaporeans and local companies.
Instead of embarking on this massive PR campaign to whitewash their oversights for years, they should apologize for their unwillingness to do more in recent years.
