Why do all Indian scammers use "Kindly" in every sentence?

I swear every single time I'm messaging someone and they use the word "kindly" I know they are trying to take every single penny out of my pocket.
"Kindly message me" or "Kindly send me your date of birth"... EVERY TIME.
 
DO NOT REDEEM THE CARD!!!

But let's avoid racism, no need to mention "Indian". Scammers are scammers, no matter where they come from.
Fair enough I'm still new here so I'm catching up with all the rules and do's and don'ts, but I had to mention it since 90% of the times it ends up being an Indian.
 
As of April 2023 India is the most populated country in the world
Maybe every 2:1 freelancer from India so the good freelancer/bad freelancer ratio will be high too
But still 90% from India is way too high!!!

It's not really about the rules, I'm just trying to avoid racism as a person. I do understand where your claim comes from, I don't live in a bubble, but there are 1.5 billion (!) Indians and many of them are part of this community.
 
They like "Sir" as well :)

A scammers a scammer, a hacker is a hacker a politician is a parasite, and a corporate executive is a psychopath.

Kindly say this to them 20 times.

How is he being racist? He never claimed that all Indians are scammers. He pointed out that the scammers he mentioned happen to be Indian, which is a significant difference. Stop overreacting to everything and lecturing others, especially when your interpretation of his words is incorrect.

It's a stereotype, and like many stereotypes, it holds some truth to it, which is why they exists in the first place.

In this context, he specifically mentioned Indian because perhaps the scammers he had encountered who used the word "kindly" happened to be Indian. It's not necessarily a comment on all Indians but rather an observation based on his personal experiences.
 
Dear, kindly be informed that I don't know the answer
 
1) The way english is taught (through formal letter writing etc) in Indian schools
2) Translating from Indian language formal communications - - formal letters in Indian languages sound extremely bureacratic
3) Lack of familiarity with colloquial english
 
May be those scammers were taught by senior scammers :suspicious: to pretend as being respectable and that they can fool people more easily. But deep down, we all know what's really behind those "kind" words. :D
