I am not sure what gets into the minds of such scammers, to be honest.
one singular neuron is all they got, same with the scammers from the currency exchange section trying to buy/sell millions worth of bitcoin, sometimes even billions

not sure how correct this could be, but i truly think it's just kids (mostly) making these posts.
Like they expect some random internet guy to trust a newbie account and send them crypto worth $34,000 USD, just like that?

i would have sent it to him, too bad OP didn't even bother to post the address he wants the 16.2 ETH sent to, lol. (haven't trolled one with a fake TX in a bit)
