      I know. Whenever I watch something like this, my first question is, “how?” And then “are people actually this naive ?”. Like seriously , I understand the whole scam , fraud game/industry.. but some examples leave me absolutely dumbfounded and confused. Dumbfounded that it worked , and confused in the sense that.. are there people out there ACTUALLY that dumb/naive when it comes to scenarios like this? Like seriously I don’t understand. I just cannot believe how some scams are able to be executed. I guess the problem is I assume by default that the general pop is more or less like myself , with a good bullshit radar. But this (and many other cases ) is a reminded I guess that , that is not at all the case. That some people REALLY are that dumb. In my opinion (and this is never talked about by anyone I don’t think) , one of the BIGGEST, ACTUAL factors involved with determining one’s intelligence is naivety.

    I'm currently a witness/victim of a fraud case being pursued in Ontario that involves numerous victims and I can echo your final statements at the end at how there is little chance of conviction/charges and even if so, little chance of any return of the money. Seeing someone who stole substantial money from you continue a free lifestyle while you're in ruins is devastating mentally (and financially). The justice system is completely exhausting.
