Actually this one’s believable. The script typically follows:

“Do you want to go golfing this weekend” “Are you coming to the bbq Saturday” “Hey this is so-and-so” Etc.

And if you reply “who is this” or whatever to that effect the bot will say “Oh I’m sorry” or something like that. Then later follow up with a “my names _____” usually followed by a picture of an Asian woman, and then an attempt to “get to know” who the bot is talking to.

The whole mistaken identity bs to establish a dialog and try to form a connection with a random stranger to scam them.
