Can someone help explain this Bitcoin scam?

Hi everyone,

I have met a couple people on a dating site and inevitably they always request to move over to WhatsApp to chat further. After some conversation, it always leads to how they have a side hustle of trading in Bitcoin. Obviously, this is a red flag and I just let the conversation die out, but my problem is that 4-5 people I have connected with have done this same thing and I could really use some help understanding it better.

Here’s what happened:

I connect with someone on a dating and and we move to What’sApp We chat about life and get to know eachother and then they ask what I do for a living and then they say that they have a side hustle of investing in Bitcoin options with promises of high returns.

I know what their end game is obviously, but how does this process usually unfold if I were to have taken the bait? I’m just not familiar with Bitcoin options and I don’t know what platform they are taking these screenshots from.

Has anyone experienced something similar or can anyone provide insight into this type of scam?

Thanks in advance for any advice or guidance you can offer.
