News Google's new alliance aims to outsmart online scams with data hub

How do they define scam? Sure, anyone asking you to pay for police/court/bills/lottery fees with Walmart gift cards is a scam. But what about selling a cheap watch for $100,000 or a Go Fund Me page for hurricane victims that may or may not be suffering a lost residence? If there was a simple regulation, or even setting in phones, to block IP phone traffic through USA routing companies that don't verify their customers, most of these scams would die in 15 minutes.
