So we’re talking about ’The boy who cried wolf’ here. There’s a reason it’s a timeless fable, dating back thousands of years.

It’s a common dilemma that we might not ever solve. It seems to me ‘swatting’ is one of the most modern iterations of it.

It's not boy cry wolf because the victim made no claim. Someone committed fraud making a false claim and attributed it to him.
