I don't think the interview is real. There are various phrases he uses that are too American - like "take out loans", "I would use", "send faked letters", "spend all of their time online", "up the chain, to someone", "build up trust", "In the early days".<p>Those particular sentences are American constructs and would not usually be used by foreigners, particular foreigners from a colonial english background.
"We had something called the recovery approach. A few months after the original scam, we would approach the victim again, this time pretending to be from the FBI, or the Nigerian Authorities."<p>I laughed, am I a bad person ?
