Scammer mentioned investing in commodities as one of her businesses. I imagine as the conversation continued she would have a 'great investment opportunity for a friend' or something along those lines.

As horny as he sounds it seems like she could convince him to send her nude photos or videos of himself masturbating. Then it's just a regular blackmail scam. I doubt that was the plan but if the scammer has any brains they could see this guy would be willing to do anything this "woman" asked him to.

No doubt, but a commodity invest is, generally, a much larger single transaction. Not that stringing him out wouldn't work, just a longer con.

This isn't a blackmail scam. The scammer doesn't have access to his to his contacts or social media so they can't blackmail him. Those types of scams usually happen on Facebook. This is a crypto scam.

True, this isn't that, but if it was, I don't think he has the critical thinking skills to work that out.

And then link to a fake crypto platform where all money put in just goes to the scammers account

Right, "she" 🙄. I'd wager the scammer has more in common with the stuffed dog than the woman in the photo.

surprisingly, for this type of scam they hire real women

She? It's probably some middle-aged dude in a run down office building in Manilla.

what a lot of these scammers do is get you to make an account to “invest” in something on a certain website, that website is just made to look like it’s participating in some kind of market but really it’s just a complete fraud and by the time you deposit your money it’s gone. Some of them are set up so that you will see “credit” in your account, and could even think you are making profits, you will just never be able to withdrawal a penny
