I wonder how many idiots they catch a month.
It must be a lot judging by the amount of fake ads that are out there. If it wasn't lucrative they probably wouldn't bother doing it.
If you have the time, check out the YouTube channel Jim Browning. He baits scammers, gets into their systems and looks at their data, and those Indian phone scammers actually
make steal a LOT of money. Close to in the millions if I recall correctly.
So scamming mongers that don't know better is probably very easy for them. They know people might be too embarrassed to go to the police, call their bank, or whatever the situation is, so they figure they'll just cough up the money.
