I don't know that that's necessarily true. It IS true that most scams feed on 2 things, greed (as you said) or fear. So you're telling me that in Nigeria and India, you get scams FROM the US? That is so funny. In the US, we gt scams from India and Nigeria. And as a developer, it's not that we think you're wasting our time (can't speak for everyone obviously), but for me it's the concern that I might not get paid for my services. Because if there's ever a problem, I have no way to get my money. It's easier to just write it off and walk away. And since most developers have been swindeled like this before, they just put a guard up when we get site requests from anywhere internationally and especially from Nigeria or India because about 80% of the scams originate from that part of the world (or so they say). Of course, one of the reasons why we're here is to share insight and knowing why we get the responses that we do, not just regionally, but internationally.
And thanks SO much for sharing that you guys get scams from the US. I never knew that. I guess I should have, but that is almost hilarious!
