That's probably true for some part of the scams, but others are domestic. The one I was looking into was most likely speaking German natively, and from what I could tell, he was a German in Germany (some info pointed to a specific German state, and his homedir was a common German first name).

You'll still have scammers from India, but you'll also have a lot that are running more elaborate scams and do a lot of damage by defrauding the government and companies.
