I suspect the answer lies in paragraph 4, where I'm making the assumption that the scammers make contact directly with the buyers, and invite a payment to be made to the scammers rather than the brokers.
I suppose in a strictly legal sense, the brokers are off the hook then as they've no idea the scammers have asked the buyers to send a payment.
It's scummy as fuck all round.
