I find Mr X entertaining. He spins a wild tale.
I accept people get sucked into the whole "Run for the Hills," hype.

Smart people are easier to scam, according to a report on Nigerian 419 Advance Fee Fraud statistics.
According to the report, losses from Nigerian scams
totaled $12.7 billion in 2013.
Ya cant scam all of the smartest people all of the time
Ya cant scam all of the smartest people some of time
But ya can scam some of the smartest people all of the time

I certainly wouldn't hand over $80,000 for a Mexican Passport.
I watched that particular Video as Mr X, tried to explain away, how the Mexican Passports never materialized.
As I said, he is very entertaining.
I wouldn't invest, then again I'm not his target audience.

An interesting and humorous post, thanks for sharing.
