MODERATORS
They make it blatantly fake on purpose to weed out the more intelligent people who are less likely to fall for a scam. The scammers don't want to spend hours reeling someone one in by appearing legitimate, only for the person to disengage at the first sign of a scam. They'd rather just filter those people out right away with something blatantly fake, and the people who are left are the ones susceptible to being scammed.
