I live in Denmark and I don't get calls like that.

  Ok? 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

    > 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.

      That’s possible too. But I specifically mean that we’re not as easily fooled by Indian call center staff.
