Yeah, okay, I've de-dickified myself a bit now, and I'll try again. Look. There's a down economy all over the world, and people who have never considered doing things "like that" are starting to. Being a part-time webcam girl is a great example. More and more really are college students. Suppose you're a vanilla woman (or man who can pretend to be female online), and you hear something like, "There's a whole world of kink where guys !PAY! to be treated like shit, ignored, and otherwise battered about. You never have to take your clothes off, much less open your legs." Or... they pay for the privilege of doing your chores and cleaning your house. Well, hot damn!!!!!! Of course, every "real" dominant woman knows through bitter experience that it ain't that frikkin easy, even if you're not running a scam, because most fetishists are big on talk and ideation, but small on action and follow-through. But for naive "let's try out this domme thing" laides (and phony ladies) it seems a whole lot better than flipping burgers. So the short answer to your question, PeonForHer, is twofold: (1) low-level scammers like that have no understanding of the rules of human interaction, so they set themselves up to fail again and again; but also (2) every once in a while there really is a guy desperate enough for attention that he will pay. I doubt these "women" are actually based in the UK. For a scam with such a low percentage payout, you need awfully low overhead. There's a team in Zamboanga who all use the same apartment, for example... and it's well documented that entire Nigerian internet cafes exists because scammers are on them all the time. Ghana, incidentally, is getting more business, because it's "next door" to Nigeria, and scammers are now working in Nigeria, but have funds sent to Ghana, and they drive to pick them up. It's an attempt to avoid the tag "Nigeria," which has become sullied throughout the world.
