Actually, a lot of them are in Europe too, they don't have phone tracing or 
something like that.  I can't remember what the exact reason is, but they can 
have a phone line there with nobody knowing who owns it, and its ok.  They can 
jump ship and move on, and nobody knows where the number came from.

Not sure how true that is, but my brother in law is a fraud investigation team 
manager at PayPal/Ebay, some of the things he has told me people do is crazy.
Send any scams to spoof@xxxxxxxxxx and they will forward it to the right place.

As to the morality of these people... this is their day job, and most of them 
are in Africa:
