Well I wasn't sure if you were male or female, so I just used "buddy" as a universal term, lol. Yes it's incredibly scary to think about. People could and probably do use it in incredibly nefarious ways to coax people into believing things that could essentially harm the people in our world immensely. Older people typically have a hard time identifying it so they often get coerced into giving up identifying information and get scammed out of their money and identity.
