They had done their homework and attempted to demonstrate that they were genuine by sharing an extensive amount of “family” information, carefully presenting it to look authentic (e.g., referring to old addresses taken from envelopes to deceased relatives, etc.) All of the information they “shared, ” however, was in fact publicly available.
