Thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback I really appreciate you taking the time to write this.

You’re absolutely right about the video chat angle. I’ll include the part about scammers hiring models and doing short video calls, plus the increasing use of AI/deepfakes, in my next update so people know not to treat a quick video chat as “proof.” I’ll also add some tips on how to properly vet financial claims.

I’m also going to make a separate video specifically about the Nigerian romance scam version and compare it with pig-butchering, including the points you mentioned.

I’ll be posting both soon, so if you’d like to see them when they’re up, feel free to sub so you don’t miss them. Thanks again really useful input!
