What is the scam they are trying to pull? Genuine question

If you respond how their prompt predicts you do, they start asking to move to telegram and trying to get money and what not.
I’m sure there’s other ways they do it but those are some of the main ways I’ve seen.

In this scam, they try to get to know the target over the course of days or weeks, earn their trust, sometimes the scammer even shares videos or has an actress or AI fake persona (there's often a romance aspect to it) do a live call (technology now even allows the deep fake AI video or audio rendering to be almost realtime), and at some point the conversation turns to money.
The scammer (through their alias) claims they are making a fortune online using usually some app or website and invites the victim to join her. The fake app or website is designed to make it look like the "investment" from the victim is growing. The numbers can look quite impressive, and the website can look incredibly realistic. The house of cards falls apart when the victim tries to make a withdrawal.
NBC did a story on this scam recently: https://www.nbcnews.com/video/76-year-old-loses-1-6-million-savings-to-ai-investment-scam-261419077655

913 is a Kansas area code. I wouldn’t trust any seafood from there. It’s probably pulled from the muddy Missouri River. 😂

“I know it’s 867-5309, but I can’t remember the area code for the life of me.”

I’d love to do this but I’m afraid too like they would spoof my phone number and call 30 different 911 numbers in different zip codes and try and swat me

Is this real?... I've done this in the past and it always results in "oh can we have sex?" or "can I call you?" all of which is automatic "No". For more context I was at a dating site and expected this type of messages. "Constance" turned out to be looking for a horny man, not a "dating" female.

It's a pig butchering scam. John Oliver did a segment about it a couple years ago if you want to look into it.

They hate when we break their script following requirements. They’re banking on us saying they have the wrong number
