Probably going to eventually send you to some cam site to see “them”. This seems like the old school Craigslist eWhoring affiliate scam, just way more scalable now. Shit, there’s probably millions to be made if you get a good enough AI.
Using AI lets scammers target hundreds of people at once and choose likely candidates for a pig-butchering scam (rich, dumb, vulnerable, etc). Once the AI finds one, it passes the phone number on to a human scammer for further exploitation.
It’s like the old war-dialers that would dial hundreds of people and pass along the call when they got an answer from a real human being.
I get these texts occasionally. What’s their goal? Ask for money eventually?
Basically yes, but only after you’re emotionally invested.
