A group I know are having their members targeted by a hacker, who is hitting them with texts out the wazoo. Some have allegedly been taken by the scammer for small amounts of money. Does anybody know the best route for getting an agency involved? It's an ongoing phishing campaign, and there are a few thousand folks who could be hit by this scam.

The FTC seems to be for consumers, not organizations.

I hear that the FBI has resources, but would the organization might be too small for them.

I'll see if I can find a link for something like reporting this, but I can tell you it just about never makes a difference. Educating your friends and family on how to handle these attempts is really the best solution.
