Imagine that you're smart, young, and faced with an awkward choice. You can live your life in an impoverished place, ekeing out a living producing mud in Elbonia. Or you can steal money from people who, from your perspective, have TONS. People who aren't even near you anyway, and who according to local thought are evil and oppressing you. Plus, that's a lot of money to you.
Now couple it with the gang aspect.
- studentrob 11y agoI don't have to eke out a living making mud. I know how to work with AWS. I can find a job working for a web development shop and teach myself new skills along the way. I don't know what you mean by gang aspect. Yes organized crime exists and forces people to participate. Are you saying there's a high likelihood that the people who set up these scams are being forced to do it by a gang? I don't know anything about the likelihood of that. As far as I know, all participants in tech criminal rings are willing. If people are being forced to join against their will, someone should shed light on that.
