Also, his "mom" he tributed to wasn't really his mom. Mr Ben contacted a woman that called her "Mom" assuming that she was micheal's sister. She said she didn't have a sister named Micheal, showing that the tribute he made was fake, and his "Mother" is alive. Micheal also had an app called DualSpace, which allows you to clone apps, so he was on the "micheal" and "tom" account on 1 device showing that "Micheal" and "Tom" were the same person.

      Thing is Americans are prosperous because American society is law abiding in general. Many Americans would not survive in a 3rd world country where they have to look out for themselves. The internet brings in a bit of the third world into America. Hope Americans understand they are prosperous because of the society they were born into and not because they are inherently smarter than 3rd world people. And be thankful. Imagine the folks who can get scammed by a 3rd worlder without a proper education , how badly off such Americans would be if they had the bad luck to be born in the third world and had to actually fend for themselves. And be grateful to the elite in the US who have built a society ruled by law instead of just grabbing all the money like the elites in the 3rd world do.

      Certain things do not add up to that what-if scenario. that Is showing photos - While anyone could get faces from let's say thispersondoesntexist. It would take great work to put the face into a candid photo that is suggested in the blurry images shown.
      And most scammers would not stop with $100 - they'd run the con till you'd never send them a cent again $100 would be the appetizer. Scammers of this nature are never happy with $100.

      Assuming that the "boss man" wasn't actually a fall back scam and that "boss" was just some random dude on Facebook where as the original scammer was the only scammer and he pretended to help rat on someone where in reality he just took photos from facebook like creating the fake accounts, and then took a picture of a random house a few blocks away from his day job. There is a real possibility that this "rat" actually just played the scambater doing a scam that he knew he could get at least some money out of because some money is better then no money. Things played out way too... shall we say smoothly to not be suspicious of a veteran scammer who has learned how to scam the scambaiters.
