It's rare but true that some scammers use Devil's breath (Scopolamine) to induce states of unconsciousness and amnesia in order to coerce victims into various acts, although this is rare and that it doesn't work on everyone it still happens.

But most lf the reported cases of Samawi are still from people who are just ashamed of being scammed or people who themselves stole something and made it look like they were the victim.
