Not lucky- just deceptive. Deception is what scammers do, and they do it because it’s guaranteed to make money, not because they hope to get lucky.

I’m not advocating this. Doing this was wrong, and it’s not some black hat exploit. It was a scam; pretending to be someone to make money off of an unwitting victim.
