    Is it still a subset when it's the majority?

    And to be honest, the level of effort scammers are willing to go through is shocking, and AI's just making it easier for them.

    Is it? If you live in a country like India, then a single successful scam will be able to pay for years of living expenses

    It's sad, but this is the world we live in. It's constantly disappointing.

    But I do want to push back a bit, the people getting scammed are not incredibly stupid, they're incredibly vulnerable. They're often people who are generally less tech savvy, but also they're people who don't have a lot to lose, it's a bit counterintuitive, but it's easier to scam people who take money very seriously.
