In poor countries, there are at least freedom to open small business at home, so a lot people can make a living to get by, of course not to get rich. it's impossible to do so in rich countries. Wanting to get rich fast SO BAD is your problem, not not having a job available, you can make jobs yourself, ethical or unethical. If you keep this mentality with lame excuses to go on life, you're done with.

    I just get a call from a Scammer 5 min ago and I think they begin to be crazy :p I'm french native speaker (from belgium) but I can also speak dutch, english and I begin to learn spanish. First time I get a call in english and I pretended to not be able to speak english so I said "je ne comprend pas, désolé,..." in french. The scammer had an indian accent? Then 2 weeks later I got a call from a french speaker scammer ( I saw +33 number on my landline) and a woman that spoke french but with an accent from morroco or tunisia. I answered her in dutch. After 20 sec, she cutted the line. Then some days later I got a call from +597 number and it was in dutch. In belgium we speak dutch and i can recognize the dutch accent from belgium or the netherland but it was different here, +597 is Suriname. I spoke a little bit in spanish and again, line cutted and just 5 min ago, a call from a +34.... Could it be possible that many scammer all around the world work together and send data to others depending the language of their victim ?

      Well, I mean, maybe what he was trying to say is that it is obvious for anyone that knows even a little bit about pcs and softwares in general so if he doesn't mentions it, it's not because he doesn't know it's fake, but just because he's not honest.
      So it couod be a similar meaning to what you say.

      Same here in Denmark with Danish scammers... They'll typically insist you stay on the phone with them and say that the "offer expires" if I hang up. They'll refer to a website and reviews that look very fake, either looking like they were all written by the same person or couple of people (same grammar mistakes over and over throughout the reviews or a repeated misspelling), or the accounts themselves were created the same day the review was written. They're also extremely eager (of course) and pretty short-tempered. They'll sound all fake-happy and laugh at anything you say, but the slightest question on your part and they'll get real defensive real fast.
      At this point, I just don't answer my phone if I don't know the number. At all.

    As a Ukrainian I bring my apologies for those scumbags.
    You’re findings kind of shocked me that we have those scam operations here as well. Furthermore Zoom Support is a well know company here in the Western part of Ukrainian. They usually hire students that are willing to get a side job and know English.
    They advertise themselves as an IT product company that sales legitimate software i even have a couple of people that I know that worked there they always say that they “sell” their software by just simply doing standard cold calling, but never go into details on how the company works.
    Seems that it’s a cover up story to run their illegal scam operations.

However, that is overshadowed by its use of scary language, which could make old and inexperienced people think they need to buy it ASAP.
