Ah yes, but then, with such methods a number of failures are to be expected and the scammers don't care as long as a certain percentage is fooled. When using this trick to fool someone into telling confidentuial things it is very uncertain. For once, I've never heard of the police trying something like this to obtain confessions or information: the chance of failure in an indivicual case are too big. -- ir. J.C.A.
