I agree completely. Yet the spelling in each of those scenarios is still identical, which is what I was driving at originally. Colour and color do not denote a difference in pronunciation; and this is backed up by the phonetics listed for the respective words in American and English dictionaries... The phonetics are identical.
Accents muddy this, which is why they should be disregarded when comparing the phonetics between variations of English words.
Otherwise we'd need at least 3 pages for each word in the dictionary just to list the phonetics for each accent in the UK. Let alone the rest of the English speaking nations.
You can access the gov link seen in the screenshot and see it's legit from the US gov rather than a common scammer: https://www.dhs.gov/cbphome.
Ofc the current US gov are some of the most prolific grifters that country has ever seen, so your point still stands that these people will likely be scammed... They'll just likely end up thrown into a concentration camp rather than deported on a commercial flight with $1,000 as promised.
