Nick Corcodilos of Ask the Headhunter is familiar to many in the tech community for his career and employment advice. This week, Corcodilos' readers started chronicling the misdeeds of a recruiter variously known as 7F, SevenFigureCareers, 7Figure, and several other names in the comments section of one of his articles about recruiting scams. It seems 7F has been taking people's money and then failing to deliver on its promises:
"They promised interviews for six- and seven-figure jobs," said [7F victim John] Rice, "but delivered short phone calls with illiterate phonies."
As more and more information emerged, the crowdsourced evidence helped persuade credit card company American Express to terminate 7F's ability to do business through Amex. 7F has been stopped from scamming, but Corcodilos hopes Amex will pursue the matter until 7F "gets hauled before the authorities, goes to court, is tried, fined and goes to jail." I'm sure the people 7F scammed agree.
Any Soylentils out here do business with 7F or similar scummy recruiting firms? You might want to see about getting your money back.

Well, for things like single-payer healthcare there's always OMG socialism! Stalin! Mao! Pol Pot! Venezuela!, which seems a fairly mature knee jerk at this point.
Looks like I can start building an OMG libertarianism! Somalia! GGC!… knee jerk.
