My two cents: 1. When somebody communicates with you and tells you it's urgent it's usually scam. They are trying to make you do stuff because of the urgency and so scam communication will always be urgent. Here in Greece one of the most common scams is to call older people and tell them that "your son has had a car accident and we need 5000 euros right now to operate on him, bring the money in a bag"

2. (More general) When a person initiates a communication with you it is for his benefit, not yours. If it was for your benefit then you'd initiated the communication to benefit from it. This is not only about scam but also about selling stuff or answering to polls or whatever. Be always sceptical when somebody you don't know contacts you.

Greece is 20 years behind Romania with that scam
