I'm from the telecom industry myself, and it's real easy to spoof callerid here as well. Also anonymous burner phones do exist here as well.

So I don't think this is the reason.

I’m sure you’ll find more “get rich quickly even if it’s dirty” kinda people here. We literally worship our millionaires and billionaires.

I’m probably going to get downvotes but this is what I’ve experienced in the US, at-least in the hyper growth Silicon Valley.

Get rich quick and clawing over others to get to the top is also relatively prevalent in poorer countries, those with great wealth/income inequality, and societies undergoing rapid economic transformation.

It's part legal enforcement and part culture. There are dishonest individuals in every country.
