This one is a bit weird. It's not a scam for money, or at least that doesn't seem to be the main point of it. It's like a kind of catfishing except that the victims are couples who want to adopt. They get jerked around for a while, their time wasted, and they get emotionally invested, only to find out there's no baby to adopt.

There are a lot of fucked up people in the world. Computers and internet allows them to fuck with other people, like never before in history

Part of it is the speed with which ideas can be spread. One person comes up with something fucked up (or really cool), and by sundown a million people know about it.
