We don't know what actually happened, it was just my attempt at speculating.
You and I may not be the types to fall for anything. Unfortunately, the G4 did fall for something, and it may not have been that good of a ruse. How about, "I have a pacemaker and you can't bring a cell phone near me or it could pose a risk to my health...."
The serial killer John Edward Robinson was able to use a con that promised a better life and better job, you just had to move across the country and write a bunch of letters to your family, postmarked for the future so that when you weren't able to send postcards back home, he could send them for you. Among, many crazy other thing he made these girls fall for, in hindsight it's easy to see that it is a con, but so many women fell for his tricks. Finally, a street wise sister said, wait a minute you are setting me up to kill me!
