In Brazil and the USA, scam requests have become increasingly common with the rise of social media and online banking. Brazilian Portuguese speakers often use the term 'golpe' colloquially when discussing scams in informal contexts, while 'fraude' is preferred in formal or official communications. In NYC and urban areas, people may simply say 'that's a scam' or 'a con' rather than the formal phrase 'scam request.'
