That’s what I don’t understand about this kind of scam. It seems like an awful lot of work. Juggling all of your fake internet significant others or employees and then building up enough trust to make the ask. I can’t imagine the payout is that substantial given how much effort would be required.



Think about the mule more like a drug mule. Someone who doesn’t have much to lose, is recruited by gangsters, work is ok as long as they do what they’re supposed to do, and they are beaten or killed if they go off script.
