Slightly legal? An act is either legal or it is not. Black and white. However, your advice is well taken.
Strictly from my personal perspective I consider the OP described situation more the act of a shyster than a scammer, because as you alluded to legality is an issue. To me a scam means to me a willful illegal dishonest act.
