I was like, "Do people still fall for such old trick" too when I read the OP. The first time I saw something like that on telegram was around 2020/2021 (I can't be sure anymore). I was almost thrown into a panic for the person's sake, believing they were genuinely seeking help and had inadvertently exposed their passphrase. It was not until another user explained it to the rest of us and called the scammer out that I felt relaxed. Again, those who fall for such a scam are greedy too. Only greed will make someone want to reap where they didn't sow. It's the same way people try to claim NFTs they find in their wallets but they didn't do anything to earn them. They think it's that easy to throw money (coins) around. It's certainly not. Scammers know this and that's why they cash in on the greed of people to hit them.
