>Intelligent, articulate, and technologically adept, it is hard to avoid the conclusion that in a place with more opportunities a young man of Omar's talents could find a legitimate way to earn his $500 a day.

Pretty ridiculous statement there. Not many places on earth can a person earn that for simply being smart.

"He isn't so bad after all. Just an unpolished diamond forced into scamming by his environment!"

Running these scams doesn't require any kind of above average intelligence or rhetorical and technological skills. All this guy is doing is browsing social media websites for lonely men and pretend to be a pretty girl from a third world country to them. It's a no-brainer. I strongly doubt Omar has any skills that would get him an above average job.

Presumably that's why it says "in a place with more opportunities"....

It could be a fictional place, they have plenty of opportunities.

I mean, this simple scam does not show much of a person. 1. You can use facebook 2. You know a weak spot in men that everyone knows about, and in countries that are more developed laws prevent companies to abuse men. 3. You know how to match when you type with a video recording that you are showing a person/victim.

Edit: on a social engineering level this doesn't score that high.

And I'm not going to list the negatives that this shows right now.

Right, the main differentiator with a person who does this stuff is willingness to do this stuff.

Let's not glamorize it.
