I could see myself falling for something like this up to the point I was asked to buy gift cards. I feel like that would set off all the BS detectors in my head. I rarely answer my phone if it's a number I don't know (if it's important it will come in the mail or they will leave a message) and always call back a number I lookup online to handle things like CC Fraud calls. I'm not trying to pretend the manipulation isn't effective or say this person should have seen through the scam but I just cant see myself buying gift cards and reading them out over the phone to a "government agent" no matter how much info they had on me. I would love to listen to a successful scam phone call (not one where the person being scammed is trolling them but a real case of getting scammed) to better understand this.
