It's a bit of time I'm asking myself this question.
Let's imagine the following situation:
A guy visits another guy to receive a payment in BTC.
He doesn't have mobile internet connection, so he asks his host to connect to his host's wi-fi.
His host, that we assume for the sake of our inquiry wants to scam his guest, connects him to a fake internet in which the real BTC blockchain was forked in order to fake a transaction that in really will never happen.
So once the first guy will go back home he'll see that his payment has disappeared.
Is this situation technically possible?
