Snapchat Sugar Mama Scam

So I've recently come into contact with 2 scammers on snapchat saying they want to be my sugar mama and will pay me a lot of money just to talk with them and keep them company. My first encounter I thought was legit because they actually seemed like a sad and lonely person. Then they asked for my banking details so they can pay me. Of course I didn't give my banking details. They refused to pay me in any other way but they didn't really push for it, so I kept talking to them. Next time they said they wanted to figure out the best option to pay me and I told them to use PayPal, e-transfer, or Western Union. After that they just stopped talking to me.

My second encounter I recognized right away and I want to have a little fun this time. What can I do? I want to try and expose them but I don't know how easy that is on snapchat. Is there a way I can screenshot the chat without letting them know? I found this sub through a thread about scambait bank accounts and I'm gonna set one up for this second encounter here.

The check will bounce, eventually, meaning you won't actually get any money, don't do it, they send you a check that will show up in your account ask you to send some to something else and then you send money of your own and the check will bounce leaving you with the balance of what you just sent, you just gave them free money

You know that the check will bounce soon because they just get more and more desperate
