How does contacting someone and telling them they are going to receive a large sun of money, end up scamming the intended ‘recipient’ out of money.

To add to what others have said: first they’ll ask for some amount for some fees, sure, but then they ask for more. And more. And more. They’ll keep asking until they bleed you dry and you have no more money to send. That’s how you end up with people like in prison for embezzling funds from their workplace—they tell themselves they just need to borrow a *little* money for the fees, quickly paid back once they get their payday.
