(27,473 posts)This chat looks fabricated rather than authentic. Here are some key reasons:
1. Tone and Style

conclusion: almost certainly fabricated chat. It has the hallmarks of staged online content -overly incriminating detail, inconsistent tone, ad unnatural dialogue flow - rather than authentic private exchange between two 22 year olds
