A lot of these scammers are actually just indentured servants in the modern era. There’s a ton of different media reports on just how awful the industry is for these “workers”.
These people are literally trafficked, enslaved, and tortured by the modern era mafia basically. Their families are threatened, they’re threatened. It’s not great.
So when they think someone’s on the hook but it’s just someone fucking with them, I would imagine they get a bit angry.
You can't make me sympathize with them.
I can’t make you be a decent human either. All I can do is give you the facts. Do with them as you will.
You've convinced me. Next time a scammer calls me, I'll willingly give them the money. They need it more than I do
