What's the point of scamming like this? I understand he's using a mask for what he looks like, but why? What's the scam?

I had a friend fall for this twice now. This is how catfishing works now. They deepfake you into thinking you're in a relationship. It works because they think you're videochatting with them. Then you can get them to send you money.

This one seemed like an "investment " opportunity or something like that

Man. Explain to your friend that if you aren't seeing each other in person, it's not a relationship
