Thanks all for your input. I now reach the conclusion that whilst the start position can be achieved, black is one move behind. Therefore, Chess.com is guilty of creating false exercises.
Don't jump to conclusions, chess.com has never created a false exercise.
I got the position you gave simply by using the analysis board.

QuantumYankee - That doesn’t work because it has to be whites move so that he can win material with Qd5, hence the sequence I gave in #5. But yes, it’s not a false exercise.
There’s a very similar and more well known trap in the Philidor as well.
I found 121 games with the position. White's score is reasonably strong: 126-7-8. This game is interesting.

This is one of C.com`s Drills, which I have been studying but I cannot see how the start position is achieved. Can someone please take a look and let me know if you can work it out. Thanks.

Maybe post the diagram here.
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.d4 exd4 4.Bc4 Nc6 5.Ng5 Ne5? (Black should play 5...Nh6)
That’s the sum of my knowledge on the Scotch Gambit. Paul Morphy played 5...Nh6 and won a nice miniature.
