Maybe these North Korean scammers could make good money by selling their job application tips and tricks to actual talented out of work engineers. They seem to not be struggling to get these jobs, unlike actual developers who are struggling.
Very likely the jobs these North Koreans are getting would not be considered a good job by the devs struggling to find one. As a starter when you plan to phone it in from North Korea you can accept a salary which would not be liveable for a local and stil make it worth it for you.
