I never got any in the UK either. Are you saying that 67 million people is too small of a market? Even the 10 and 6 million of Portugal and Denmark seems plenty

I never got any in the UK either. Are you saying that 67 million people is too small of a market? Even the 10 and 6 million of Portugal and Denmark seems plenty large enough to make these type of things viable.
- lightbendover 3y ago> Are you saying that 67 million people is too small of a market? Yes. If I'm a scammer, I'm going to target the most profitable single market that I understand. Building an international capability on top of that is a fairly large leap.
- madsbuch 3y agoI can ensure you that both Portugal and Denmark has plenty og spam and scams. Also in local languages. Just not robocalls.
- arp242 3y agoYou can apply that reasoning to every product or service. Do you actually have any knowledge on this?
- lightbendover 3y agoHaving worked on GTM strategies for nearly a dozen new technology products at an international company and seen countless more, I have more than reason to believe that targeting the entire world at once is almost never done. You do your market research and make the best decision you can, scamming is no different. Scamming’s addressable market is dictated by many factors other than population: mean income by cohort, regularity climate, normal liquidity situations, bank policies, etc..
- arp242 3y agoOf course American scammers wouldn't be regularly targetting Europe; European scammers would be targetting Europe.
- lozenge 3y agoThey're not robocalls, but since my mobile number was ported to O2 I have received multiple calls a week of scammers wanting to access my account to order phones.
