I have to agree with you on this one. But not as a "father with no opportunity". While I am not advocating or condoning what scammers in India do, I do have to add the following:
1) 1 USD is around 66 INR, so almost everyone is ingrained that people in USA are richer. Furthermore, the fact that stuff is perceived as "cheaper" in USA has not helped (even those who earn minimum wage in USA, can afford the latest iPhone, can't say the same about those in India).
2) Scammers can't see the damage they cause.
3) Some scammers don't even know they are scammers. (Especially the ones in IT that try to sell you anti-virus software claiming that your computer is infected).
4) personal note: I wonder what the sentence would be, if say it were US scammers, scamming Indians.
