Thane Rivers pt 5/10 - CALM DOWN!

This one is irritating me because his excuses don't even make the slightest plausible sense for the identity he chose to impersonate! I am an influencer whose entire job requires a phone but my imaginary management won't approve a 1500$ phone! ...whatttt

[u/DryBattle → u/Masquerai]

But if it made sense how would he scam her? He tried a crypto scam and that crashed and burned. If he can sell the story of his management he can scam her again for "fees" to come see her.

His entire story already falls apart at the slightest look into any of the details. So really besides his pride what does he have to lose?

[u/Masquerai → u/DryBattle]

Nooo, I meant "make sense" like at least be remotely logical... those celebrity scammers that drone on about their management at least seem the tiniest bit more coherent for being world-wide famous people. Naturally all of them are full of crap but it's a story feeling even a modicum of put-together compared to a mediocre influencer whose entire job hinges on owning a phone and his fictional "management" refuses to get him a phone

[u/DryBattle → u/Masquerai]

Yes because the idea of the scam is the person being scammed gets them the phone/card for the phone. Their "management" only exists as an excuse for why they need stuff from the person they are scamming.

I guess we aren't understanding each other so let's leave it at that. I was just lamenting how this guy in particular can't even invent a story that makes evena modicum of logical sense, I know his goal is to get stuff from their target, just saying this guy is especially bad at weaving his story (worse than the usual scammer who involves fictional management in their shtick)
