Daz you are also foreign to me, I live in Canada :-) honestly I think Scammers are often foreign to where you live, and a possible reason is that I guess it is harder for the police to do anything. So the Greek and Italian scammers go after people in the UK and the UK scammers go after people outside the UK. Also it is harder to tell someone to send you the money by Western Union if they live a bloc away.
