I wonder if it was a romance scam.
The "scam" seemed to be "Look, a woman. Give us money." Like, it was so obviously a scam that I started wondering what was really going on.
It sure seemed like one, yeah. One unusual thing is that there was apparently a Discord channel with multiple marks in it at once.
The general consensus was that it was a pig butchering scheme
