Maybe I’ll start a bank that has people waiting at the front of the bank to perform services for walk-in clients! That way, my workers, who we’ll call…“tellers”, can verify people face-to-face for extra security. It’s foolproof!

This sounds like a spearfishing 419 scam- if this person cannot tell that this is a scam, we’ll be able to convince her to do almost anything. And as with some 419 scams, they got trolled back. Instead of taking advantage of someone’s greed, they appeal to their want to be heard and get their story out.
