Comment on New Scam: Asking to download Signal/Telegram?

I have zero knowledge of signal or telegram outside of knowing they exist. How would downloading the app from the App Store and sending someone a message make you vulnerable to a scam? Is it just that they could send you messages asking for personal information, or ask you for bank information to set up direct deposit and instead just use your bank info to steal your money?
