How so?

If I were to pretend to be a potential attacker, and if I knew how this would be illegal, I would either A) lie to the mark, or B) tell the mark how to do this legally.

In case A, I would be at risk of being found out if the mark does a google search. In case B, there would be no problem.

So I don't see how this would help a potential attacker. Lying is already a given when it comes to scammers.
