Americans lost a record $10.3B to online scammers ...
How does the scam work, are they using some person (or their account) as a mule and then forward the money? Or is it just unrealistic that anything gets done about $350 so they don't care if you know who they are?

They are in India or Africa and yep, it's only $350 so no nobody (police, bank, etc.) cares

Even if it’s an amount that someone cares about, these people operate in jurisdictions where they can get away with it.
