I'm astonished you would support drone strikes on civilians. Scammers are working a bad job out of necessity. They are not villains who deserve to be extrajudicially murdered.

The professional nature these scams are now (call from 'Microsoft', steal a little and then send properly dressed and documented people to the house to 'investigate the fraud' and steal more) is not desperate people scamming. Sure they do not have to be murdered, but removed from society is not a bad plan. These are pro organizations, not a handful of poor people anymore.
