Victims of the gift card scam don't really think that the government wants you to pay your fines/taxes in Google Play money. The implication is that a government employee will make the problem go away if you pay them under the table. The victim is being made to feel that they're a participant in the scam, which makes them less likely to report it once they figure out they're getting cheated.

I've watched some scambaiting videos and I never see it approached like that. They do sometimes inoke avoiding taxes to get targets to buy gift cards or mark a transfer of money as personal.
