That's good that you report to the AG. Better than not doing so, and "ya never know"

Some large outfit in India got slapped down for being a center for scams, and that takes a large and coordinated response.

Maybe your messages get forwarded. The U.S. is definitely taking on offshore hacking groups that send phishing emails to gain access to corporate systems. Someone just posted today about a web page downloading an html file,

which led to this article.

Tracking these down is tedious work for computer incident response teams, and is the work of vendor and computer/FBI teams depending on the severity.

So, keep reporting. "ya never know"
