It's called a "Pig Butchering Scam" and no, they won't (directly) ask for money from you. The scam industry knows people are suspicious of that.

What they do is become your friend. They'll actually talk to you, for weeks if not months on end. the idea is to gain trust, to be "this isn't a scammer, scammers wouldn't go to these lengths." One day your new friend will mention that his investment in crypto or whatever is returning nicely, and of course you'll say "how much are you earning?" They'll never ask you for money, but they'll be happy to tell you what app to go download from the App store to "invest" in. It looks legit as fuck, often times you can actually do your homework and it checks out. Except somehow it doesn't.

Don't befriend people who text you out of the blue.
