lmao The issue is that the callers speak English, not German. If you go to Nordic countries where everyone speaks English you get similar calls as in the US.

You can spoof numbers anywhere.
- kristiandupont 7y agoI live in Denmark and I don't get calls like that.
- ryanlol 7y agoOk? I’m not saying it’s constant, but you do see it sometimes when the scammers try out new regions. Stuff like this, which is the very typical US scam https://www.thelocal.se/20140505/swedes-targeted-in-new-microsoft-phone-scam https://www.thelocal.se/20140505/swedes-targeted-in-new-micr... European countries in general just aren’t very attractive to these scams, conversion rates are far lower than in English-speaking countries. E: Another Danish commenter reports the same calls https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20837015 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20837015
- jbergens 7y ago> European countries in general just aren’t very attractive to these scams, conversion rates are far lower than in English-speaking countries. You mean we are not as easily fooled? I like this explanation.
- ryanlol 7y agoThat’s possible too. But I specifically mean that we’re not as easily fooled by Indian call center staff.
