^ this is a Venn Diagram showing people who would fall for that scam, and people who would be able to figure out how to buy Bitcoin if their lives depended on it.
They send them to those crypto ATMS so all they have to do is insert cash and type the address. The scammer is on the phone to assist them usually.
People say they're fishing for idiots but a lot of these people making these scams are very poorly educated and very corrupt areas where official messages aren't too dissimilar.
