It wouldn't take much to program a series of bots for this and see who actually falls for it.

I remember one administration that bragged how their gun control laws (background check) had kept "thousands of prohibited people from getting guns". When asked how many of those prohibited people were prosecuted, the answer was a softly spoken "43". and NONE of those had, at that time been convicted. I doubt any actually ever were...

For what it is worth, in 2010, NICS referred 76,142 denials to ATF. ATF referred 4,732 of those denials to field offices for investigation. Of those, 509 were not prohibited people. For various reasons, 1,923 cases were further investigator and 1,164 firearms were retrieved. 62 cases were referred for prosecution.
Of the 62 cases referred for prosecution: 18 were declined by a prosecutor, 13 were dismissed via plea agreement, 13 pled guilty and 12 were still pending when the study was published. 76,142 denials. 1,164 firearms retrieved. 26 guilty pleas.
