Highly unlikely that the Secret Service agents were "duped." Did they tell their supervisors they were getting free apartments and gifts from these two faux agents? Did they check into their status as agents? They are, after all, trained investigators.
Gifts are a big no no for fed employees, esp in law enforcement. A jeweler who'd been the victim of an interstate robbery sent me a watch after the trial. I sent it back asap. In the same case, a cooperating witness offered me a baby pet wolf. I declined. For multiple reasons. 👀
It's great, if you are offered a baby pet wolf as a gesture of thanks, to be able to say primly, "Oh no, that is very kind of you, but I'm not allowed to accept gifts." Then, when the person is out of earshot, you're like, "OH MY GOD -- he wanted to give me a baby pet wolf!!!!"
