We're definitely getting more of the Chinese robocalls and other SMS spam here in Australia too. I think there are two sides to it: scammers like everyone else are feeling the pinch from reduced economic activity, and desperate people are easier to scam.

A lot of scams do feel like low hanging fruit that would be easy to track down. I think there is a lack of will and capability for resolving "small" scams of up to a few thousand dollars which can be crippling for individuals.
