I guess that it can be partly attributed to the fact that Indians don't doubt anything even if it's too good to be true. A few years back a neighbor called upon us with his young son who had just completed his graduation. It turned out that wanted to seek my opinion on a job offer his son had received. His son had graduated from a tier-III institute in India; below average academically and all that. Apparently he received an email offering him a job in London, some 110K pounds/annum, all without an interview. I attempted to explain that it sounded fishy if not outright scam, but they weren't ready to listen. A couple of weeks later these guys told my Dad that the ones who offered the job were asking for money under some pretext or the other and that they've decided not to move ahead with it. ---- The scammers realize that people are desperate, gullible and keep on tricking people for years, even decades. Just like the Nigerian prince who was finally nabbed last week [0] after a couple of decades.
