- cdchn 3y agoLess of a problem when corruption is rampant and you can pay off the police.
- H8crilA 3y agoAnd the upside can be enormous. There's a huge amount of very poor people in India. For example only a few years ago everyone finally got a toilet in their house. Stealing $500 from a slightly demented grandma that is afraid about her medical insurance "running out" can be a lot to them.
- cdchn 3y agoIf you watch some of those "scammer gets scammed" videos you can see what the scammers actually think about the grandmas they're stealing from.
- IG_Semmelweiss 3y agoNot necessarily getting scammed, but getting a bit of what they deserve https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsLJZyih3Ac https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsLJZyih3Ac
- sneed_chucker 3y agoYeah, but it's not $500. It's frequently people being tricked into transferring huge chunks of their life savings to the scammers. Like 5+ figure sums.
- joshxyz 3y agojust the free markets at work there's a distaste on this one but this is mostly social psychology at work. there are things people will do to provide for themselves and to improve their quality of life as long as they get away with it. hell, it can be equated to online copywriters of fake fat loss pills and cosmetic products, people buying identities, vpns, ad accounts. wherever you go there's always someone tryna take advantage of the sucker in the room. god i love people, haha.
- gorlilla 3y agoThat will always depend on how good of a criminal you are. Whatever you do; don't be greedy.
- mrguyorama 3y agoThese "employees" are usually led to believe "Everyone in the west is rich, it's fine to take a little from them"
- joshxyz 3y agothis is so true, good lord. i heard it first hand.
