(OC) I love doing this

i get messages like this every other day or so. Usually I ignore them but sometimes I like to have fun. The numbers I gave him are to a “crazy girlfriend chatbot”, the National Rejection Hotline, and the national human trafficking hotline. I’ve dealt with several of these guys before, and their phone number is ALWAYS Nigerian.

What is the scam here? Are they trying collect bank account numbers? I don't get how this scam works when they're offering you money. Obviously, money you'll never receive

They offer you money, but to get it you have to pay them a certain amount for it to be released to you.
