A surprisingly positive outcome! :-+
YurkshireLad:
Just listening to a single recording of scammers conning money out of a naive old woman is enough for me. Scammers won't get compassion and forgiveness from me.

That's because they believe all westerns are wealthy and can afford to pay., even those who say they're poor.
madires:
I don't think it's that simple. The 'excuses' of westerners being wealthy and dumb, the obstinacy of sticking on the western alias names and other behaviour seem to be a sign of a mental conflict. They know exactly that they are committing fraud and other felonies while trying to blame their victims and their alias (more like an alter ego) to soothe their conscience.
Cerebus:
There's two things going on here.

First the assumption that all these scams originate in not-western countries. That's not true, anyone who has watched a few of Mark's glitter bomb videos will know that several of the scammers he has traced are entirely domestic US operations,

Two, people who do operate these scams out of India and other places aren't adopting western pseudonyms as a purely criminal tactic. I'm sure that using a pseudonym is a criminal tactic, but the fact that it is a western pseudonym isn't. Quite a lot of people from non-western countries adopt "English" names or anglicised nicknames when dealing with English speakers because English speakers are too dumb to cope with 'complicated' foreign names. I've known dozens of examples over the years: Fakhri - an Iraqi born millionaire civil engineer with an English wife who goes by Frank, Chandrakant - an English born bloke of Indian extraction who goes by Charlie, Shaheen Abdulfaz Sharibianni - an Iranian student who got stuck here in England when the Iranian revolution happened who went by the nickname Shab and so on.
