It is the same reason why American scam syndicates target Canadians more than Americans.
In fact this phenomena is well studied
If you run a scam in Malaysia, say customs scam, it is less likely to succeed than if you run. The scam in Singapore.
The reason is Singapore is a high trust society like Canada so Singaporeans tend to trust what they see especially if it comes from authority or trusted companies like banks.
Scammers come from low trust societies like China or USA where there is high level of scams and corruption that there is little trust in Govt and institutions.

Strange - you suddenly include China, along with the US, as "low trust societies".
Did you even bother to do some reading up?

Quote:Among Singapore respondents, 65% indicated that they needed to be very careful of trusting people
By contrast, in China, nearly 66% felt most people can be trusted

That is the price of living in a very safe country. Not just SGreans, most of the high-trust society are often target of foreign scammers.
