@@AtomicShrimp I feel like the short form of a three or four line summary also forces the scammer to try to phrase the basic premise of the scam, which is much more obviously a scam when read without all the side tangents and unrelated extra details, in such a way that it doesn't raise a million red flags. Then to be able to reinflate that into a more detailed statement in a way that, as you said, isn't just copy/paste. It probably wastes a LOT of their time

Canada has scammers, but because our entire population is only 38 million _souls_ the numbers of scammers isn't enought to draw much attention to us. It seems these days that most of our victims of Canadian scammers are people looking for places to rent through social media. Some of our moving companies, coincidentally, are outright scams too.

I recently started working a call center sales job and i gotta say these scammers are very persistent. Our business model is literally just "call every small business in x area and only speak with the owners then read this script" which is shockingly similar to most phone scams, and we are instructed to prioritize quantity of calls over getting strung along like this.
