Exactly. A screenshot is not convincing enough as they can 'inspect element' this 'hack'.

Simply show me a video logging into the account in real time with the given password and the 'hacker' can eliminate this skepticism.

Quite funny how people can quickly believe this stuff on the internet without thinking again, especially from...

BBC online news... sigh.

hey inspect element tricks and developer tools have been put to great effect in the realm of scammers transferring excess refund funds into folks bank accounts.
