What steps can be taken to track down a scammer and determine their location?

This question has been repeatedly answered on Quora. So I am not certain why it is being asked again. Previous answers can be summarized as follows:

This information, though interesting, is not sufficiently precise to track scammers down and recover lost funds. However, since March 2023, the Nigerian police have a Special Fraud Unit with a new website where one can register complaints. However, don’t hold your breath until you get your money back. According to my consultants, after spending even more money on fees, charges, and bribes, you will be infinitely poorer than when you started the process, and someone else (not you) will be laughing all the way to the bank.

Go to the authorities in your country and present all of your evidence regarding your communication and transactions with the scammer …. and hope that they will do something (which they rarely do because of a lack of time and human resources).

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

I thus know that all of my scammers, who did not have a disguised VPN (usually MountainVew California or Sterling, Virginia, )were in Nigeria or Ghana. I even freaked one scammer out by taking an online walking tour through his city in Ghana ,and telling him about its most scenic spots. As for Nigeria, the cities where most of my scammers hang out are Lagos and Port Harcourt.

Urgently get in touch with ‘trustworthy’ XXXX, who will magically get your money back in record time. (XXXX is, of course, one of the many scammers lurking on Quora who also wants your money).

Over the past three years or so, I have had a ‘relationship’ with 78 scammers for research purposes. Since I knew that they were scammers from the beginning, I have never lost any money to them despite their insistent efforts to empty my bank account. However, out of curiosity, I have occasionally used IPLogger to create a link, which determined their location.
