movie idea 2 - "the facade heartland"

this would make a great movie plot, based off the scam agencies that use tech scams to steal billions of dollars per year from unsupecting people. link below to jimbrowning on youtube, he does informative videos on these matters.
Inside a scam call center [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xb_rgQ4IDS8 ]
two people in the middle east trying to make ends meet who grew up as best friends and knew each other their entire lives. mamuk [mah-mook] and chabuud [shaa-bood]. after finishing high school they both want to make it big and marry the perfect spouse to start a family. they both get jobs, with mamuk working honest customer service for a major tech company ans chabuud also getting work for a tech firm.
later mamuk learns that chabuud is working for a scammer agency and their friendship gets put to the test. mamuk is like "thees ees honest munee my friend. it is hard work, but worth eet in thee end." and chabuud is like "yes buut my job pays soo much more and i am rich now". so chabuud shows off all the beautiful people he is dating and the expensive things he is buying to try to both make mamuk jealous and recruit him to also work in the scam center.
mamuk begins having a crisis of ethics as he needs more money to save one of his family members lives because they get into an accident. he considers working at the illegal call center, and we as viewers see him walking towards the scam center as they have the manager preparing for another employee joining them.
we assume it is mamuk, but it is not as we see mamuk walk PAST the call center to a profiessional office building. turns out his hard work was notices and he gets promoted to a managerial position. then later we see the scam center get broken into by federal agents as the reveal the "new employee" was an undercover officer and everyone in the scam center [including chabuud] is arrested and sent to federal prison.
the movie ends with mamuk seeing his best friend to jail and promising to always visit, and giving a short lecture about ethics and fraud. then we get a sad dark theme song that has text credits with details about scam agencies in the real world and their devastating effects. and the sheer lack of action that the law takes against them in spite of the overwhelming evidence.
