I cannot even understand why. I'm so genuinely curious about this. Is it genuinely exciting? (How? Why?) Is there a feeling of superiority in fooling people? (They usually aren't.) Is it trolling? (It's barely a shrug from me before I move on.) I truly don't see the motivation but there must be one because it happens so often.
If anyone who actually does this is lurking, can you say why?

I’d really love to hear someone’s motivation for why they do this, would be fascinating.
