Do you really think only Americans are targeted by scammers?
I think 80 year old Americans have a disproportionate amount of global wealth, so they are a, as I said, primary target. Yes.
Give it 15 years and then focus will shift to be predominantly toward UAE.
As a European I can assure you 80 yo Americans are living in poverty compared to most Europeans.
I know that Americans can't see the other side of the ocean but scam calls are made everywhere.
I love these Americans who live in their tiny bubble of "America is rich as hell". In Europe we mostly compare America with countries like Russia and other large but poor countries.
Americans wealth index only trails behind Iike 3 EU countries. Your statement is googlably false. (Germany, Norway. Not France Not Britain, not Spain, not Italy...not most of Europe).
Edit: also, laughs in GDP
