The victims OVERLOOK all kinds of red flags - horrible English, badly made documents - this tells the scammer he can easily cross the weak boundaries, the victim wont challenge him.

I had horrible boundaries because my family bullied me. I KNEW better, but i could not act in my own best interest.
Thank you @unaluna. It's true... I've never been great at having full boundaries. Sometimes yes, often, no.
