They’ve got a bunch of folding chairs and tables, telecomm equipment, and no company name. Found them using our guest Wifi to access a bunch of scam sites and banks in other countries.

    Might help to know what country you’re in, or continent even?

    How does anyone expect to get very nation specific advice like this without giving any hint as to where they’re from - besides it probably being a country that probably has many English speakers as a second language if not first…

      No, no. Didn’t you hear? The Internet is just the US.

      Hell, I grew up in and currently live in Texas and even I know better than that.

        If there’s one thing I’ve learned from working with Texans, it is that they’re Texans first, american second.

          Have you worked with many Texans? My office employs half a dozen remotely and they’re exceptional team players.

            Might be true there as well. I’ve only met, like, two french people who may or may not be from Paris.

          I mean, you’re not wrong. And at one time I felt like it meant something. It meant we didn’t push our religion on others. They were free to do what they wanted. If someone was doing something we didn’t like but wasn’t hurting anyone we just minded our fucking business (usually said about LGBTQIA+ folks). It probably wasn’t nearly as true as I felt, but that’s the kind of thing I was taught growing up. And everyone wonders why I grew up to be progressive, respecting other people’s rights and mistrusting the government as it stands and corporations.

            I know quite a few who moved here (norway) from Texas, as they didn’t like how the state overall went from being traditionally conservative to radical regressive.

            One of them recently got his Norwegian passport and I of course had to accuse him of forgetting the Alamo.

              If you’re in Norway (hi from Sweden) just call your local police, and you probably have your own telecom regulator agency which will take reports too (and they can potentially be much more powerful and faster by killing their telephony access once the scams are confirmed)

        There’s no need to be hostile toward Americans. They didn’t do anything to you.
