My take is that it's some sort of "grooming," the way child molesters
"groom" kids so that they are susceptible. They're pretending to be legit,
and eventually there will be something about "if you pay us $1,000 to
reserve the ballroom, then we'll pay you $5,000 as soon as you get here."
And when you give them money, they disappear. It's a variation on the
Nigerians.
