      Actually this one’s believable. The script typically follows:

      “Do you want to go golfing this weekend” “Are you coming to the bbq Saturday” “Hey this is so-and-so” Etc.

      And if you reply “who is this” or whatever to that effect the bot will say “Oh I’m sorry” or something like that. Then later follow up with a “my names _____” usually followed by a picture of an Asian woman, and then an attempt to “get to know” who the bot is talking to.

      The whole mistaken identity bs to establish a dialog and try to form a connection with a random stranger to scam them.

      Even easier to get on an Indonesian shit list. Defaming the prophet and the government will make the FBI look like patty cakes.

        Don’t forget, the CIA will destabilize a country to get a dollar off at the local McDonald’s. Imagine what they’d do if the FBI passingly complained.
