Ultimately if users are satisfied and happy, does it even matter if it is fake? The end goal is not to create a real relationship, it is to create a happy fantasy for the buyer.

That's kind of the logic of a cheating spouse: "hey, if they don't know, they aren't harmed."

Or for that matter, someone who spies through a peep hole at hotel guests.

Sure, this is less serious, but I don't agree with the "what you don't know doesn't harm you" excuse. It's deceptive and wrong.

It's wire fraud. Fake relationship scammers have been charged with it before.

You can't lie to people to get money out of them.

They are satisfied because they think they have this connection with a real women, not a guy from an English speaking lower cost country.

If they think they have a real relationship with the real woman behind the camera, they are as delusional as the people who tweet at celebrities and think they have a real relationship with them.

Can’t help but think of the guys writing this behind the scenes:

“It may take me a couple of days to really grasp using this platform and answering all my messages but I will get back to each of you! I will also be taking photos to share on the wall for free with some PPVs over the next couple of days. It is ONLY ME on here, so , I'd love some suggestions! PS; I'd like to also know what time is best to come on and not miss you... also, going to try and do some live streams when I get it all figured out!" Richards wrote.

From the e-pimp article:

“You see how there’s a space before the exclamation mark?” he said. “Yeah, that’s how 18-year-olds type.” When it comes to sales, Rosero said, those details make all the difference.

…

“An older lady won’t use emojis; she’ll use, like, a semicolon and parentheses for a winky face, when a younger girl will actually use a winky emoji.”

Yeah but people are free to be delusional if they want to, doesn't make it legal to scam them

Is it really even a scam? They are hiring someone to pretend to be interested in them, and they are getting someone pretending to be interested in them. If they can't effectively distinguish between the two, where is the scam? Where is the bait and switch?
