I thought a lot of them don't even know they are running scams, and that is all coming down from the top.
They are barely paid phone workers just doing scripts and doing what they are told just so they can feed their families.

On the other end of the phone call are people being forced into the same position of desperation through deception. That's their reward for a lifetime of presumably-honest work.
The noble savages aren't that dumb either. These aren't credit default swaps so abstracted from the underlying assets that the product's toxicity is unrecognizable at the nth degree. They're directly manipulating people into draining their accounts. At some level, something about it should feel off.
What are you talking about?
Expressing your thoughts through racial stereotypes makes you look with a person with poor judgment and no common sense.
Yet I could definitely convince myself to "make these rich biggots pay" for my family ends meet, especially if I lived in some shithole without much hope for improvement. Heck, privileged people have been convinced of worse.
It's not "white guilt", it's perspective.
I guess it's their fault for not being smarter, but how can you say they are evil people if they don't know that what they are doing is wrong?
I've watched some of these scammer videos and there are people working for tech support scams who think they are actually helping customers when in reality they are actually selling fake products and services for their employer, but they don't know or understand that they are fake.
That doesn’t make it OK, but that is probably how they justify stealing other people’s money.
And many of those scammers make a lot of money, they operate under commisions and bonuses, according to videos from hackers that break into their systems and steal their data.
