Actually I have been noticing the opposite that they are working on much smaller cities where people are not as aware of the scams. I just had one this morning for Bristol, TN.

Yeah, the scammers are also reaching the long tail of cities.

We get atleast one scam daily by way of email and they are always from overseas. They ask for cost and want to pre-pay but don’t want to fill out an Application.
They end up sending us a check drawn on a US Bank but when we call the Bank to verify the check validity, the Bank tells us the check is a bogus. The scammers even send it like 2nd day air to us.
What other kind of scams are being played right now out there?
