I won't say Russia doesn't have its nice share of the scam market, but I think they work usually on a different level, they're more into hacking and stealing than going person to person. They also like to go for lesser amounts of money but lots of people, while US scammers rely more on personal contact and you kinda "know" them.
Plus, I think every time one is contacted by a Russian guy, you raise the guard just in case. This being said, for every known Russian scammer I'm sure even the more clueless can name 20-30 US scammers
as for the AU people, I think it's just my bad luck, and I also got hit hard by Intergal, which makes a big difference. Without Intergal, US ranks comfortably in the 1st place FOR ME. For 99.99% of people, I would bet the scammer rank by country is US and the second one comes very far away, probably not even close to 10% of the 1st place amount. I mean, nobody can even compete with IBill/Epass, and that is just the tip of the iceberg
The above being said, it doesn't mean that ALL US people are scammers, the same way not ALL Russian people are scammers (even though most people thinks that). Just pointing out an objective fact: scammers have no nationality. They are scammers or they aren't. Just in case, trust nobody. And if in doubt, the cool smiling bro, mate, whatever is more likely to scam you than that guy you never heard of and barely speaks the language
