I was kind of disappointed that the author was contacted by the scammer and then after exchanging no real information, decided to wrap up the investigation. I understand she might have concerns for her personal safety (giving a VOIP number instead of her real one might have been prudent) but I thought this story was going to go much deeper. The author didn’t really find out much of anything, and mostly just relayed a personal anecdote.
