The word "scam" implies that somebody got cheated: it requires a perpetrator and at least one victim. Money or some other good must be exchanged fraudulently.
If Chan is knowingly making something look like something else, as with various feats of bravery videos on youtube, it would be called an "hoax". That requires the absence of profit motives, except for the gain of personal satisfaction one would gain from fooling somebody else If, instead, he is doing something that he thinks is meaningful but, because of a factor such as what pointed out by Horace he is actually doing something altogether different and much less interesting, it would be a simple mistake, which would become a self delusion if one keeps insisting in the face of evidence. The parallels with the lives and deeds of Andrea Rossi, but even of MY, really, if one thinks about it, are left to anybody to ponder as they see fit.
