Modern society has really fucked us up. Only 200 years ago we could have all built our own houses and worked on improving our own properties rather than slaving away for a corporation's profit.

Even if you want out you're kinda screwed with the price of land most places. My wife and I have good careers, make pretty good money, and yet we still aren't sure we could afford to start a simple homestead.

I've been places on this planet where the police are obviously corrupt and a threat like this wouldn't be unthinkable. Some of the people writing these scams probably have no frame of reference for what a reasonable threat would be in a place with less corruption.
