600,000+ males over 20, not counting Levites, not counting females, not counting those under 20...it was millions of the Children of Israel, and many converts who had Prophecy ( Navuah) at mount Sinai.

Just to cite the source of my answer, I first heard that from Chacham ( Rabbi) Asher Wade at Or Samayach yeshiva about 28 years ago. I grew up Orthodox and just thought it was likely the best answer I ever heard as to why we can rely on the Torah.
Yes Dear Rav, it is a scam. Could not claim one of the frauds you listed
