"If you can't imagine a scenario where you might fall prey to it, you are not thinking creatively enough."

I dunno, maybe I'm being smug but I don't think I would fall for this.

Well, i think you would need to be extremely creative to make me fall prey for this, as i do not do any video call at all, don't even have a cam or mic on my PC and, most important, don't have any crypto that could be stolen from me. :)

Thing with scams is 98% of them are obvious and dumb, but 2% hit your blind spot or vulnerability, and you end up owned.
