I don't know, the "Spanish prisoner" is a scam that seems to be reinvented every few years every time we see a little bit of a change in technology. It wouldn't take much to fake a person's voice with a trained model, especially if that person has an online profile open to the public where they post content in their own voice.

The Spanish Prisoner is also an excellent David Mamet film.

The plot of the movie is very similar to the basic setup of a 419 scam, which was given the nickname "the Spanish prisoner"

I'm going to go ahead and check that out tonight. Looks like it has a great cast.
