The guy's English was pretty good but he did have a foreign accent. My guess would be Indian, but I'm terrible at recognising accents. Not sure about the lack of legal system where he is based though. If I paid a handful of people to perform this kind of scam from my livingroom, using some Skype-like technology, and make sure we'd only target people abroad, would it be easy for me to be caught? I spoke to the guy for a few minutes but other than the accent, there was nothing that would point to his location, or that would be useful to any law enforcement agency anywhere in the world. I can't imagine these schemes making them lots of money; esepcially for those who make the calls. So I would guess a country with pretty low basic wages. What worried me about the apparent call centre he was calling from wasn't so much the size of them scam, but the professionalism. I always thought this was for the work-from-home types.
