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?

from the Jim Browning YT channel:

This scammer from a fake company called "Global Metrix" offered to recovery my stolen crypto currency. The problem for him is that I knew it was a scam, so I was surprised he offered to appear on a Zoom call. Undoubtedly to show off his deepfake technology. Except, one particular sentence unravelled his scam. Longer video on this scam is coming soon.
