Why bother operating a much more complex LLM stack when you're already raking in cash from confused boomers trying to pay the IRS off with iTunes gift cards? Their system works. They'll take up machine learning powered tools once the old farts all die off/go broke and they need more complicated scams for more technology-savvy victims.
I'm being glib here but also if you're the type of person who gets texts from the IRS from a number you've never seen and take it at face value that you can pay off your overdue tax bill with gift cards... like, you are already the perfect victim for this sort of scam. They don't need to be good, they just need you to self identify and leap right into the trap.
