They are catching scams by running their own scam?
The FBI loooooves themselves some honeypots.
Why go catch criminals when you can set up some links/a token/whatever and they'll come running to you and do the incriminating part themselves AND leave the logs of said activity in your possession?
Much simpler!
Wouldn't that be entrapment though?
