The key word is "Offer". So long as neither you nor your countrymen are foolish enough to accept such an offer, nothing is lost. Every six weeks I get the same email from the same recruiter trying to sell me on a "Senior Developer" position in Southern California that pays $70k/year. That mail has come in like clockwork for the last half dozen years now, and still seemingly nobody has been foolish enough to take it, since the position is still open. Sadly, there seems to be a group of developers in London who actually take those crazy lowball offers, thus making it more difficult for the good ones to explain why they're four times as expensive. You're right though. It's not acceptable. Good on you for not accepting it.
