Interview with a Nigerian Internet Scammer

I don't think the interview is real. There are various phrases he uses that are too American - like "take out loans", "I would use", "send faked letters", "spend all of their time online", "up the chain, to someone", "build up trust", "In the early days".

Those particular sentences are American constructs and would not usually be used by foreigners, particular foreigners from a colonial english background.

"We had something called the recovery approach. A few months after the original scam, we would approach the victim again, this time pretending to be from the FBI, or the Nigerian Authorities."

I laughed, am I a bad person ?
