    All the technology used is well known and you can replicate it yourself. Why would you fake it?

    Jim Browning is a good example if you want a little more information on how this stuff is done.

      Plus it’s not far fetched to think that the scammers themselves are just as excited for their big payoff as they hope their marks get for theirs.

      I don’t know whether I like this one more or the ones where they (not sure if it’s the same guy that did any of these) advance fee scam an advance fee scammer. In one case they know for sure they’ve been had, but if some of them are returning for 40 days in a row, it’s likely that some give up but keep thinking about it, wondering if they could still claim that money, if they gave up too soon, maybe it’s time to try calling again.

      Am well aware of technology and no one needs to explain anything to me when it comes to that. Why fake it? Money of course. But my question is a legitimate one. It seems awfully convenient that reverse scams work every time and in convenient time slots for his stream. So I am wondering if it’s fake or not.
