And the kind of scams run on it, that a minute old account would send me a PM and in the reply invite me to "text" on "snap".

Snap is a software packaging and deployment system developed by Canonical for operating systems that use the Linux kernel and the systemdinit system. The packages, called snaps, and the tool for using them, snapd, work across a range of Linux distributions and allow upstream software developers to distribute their applications directly to users. Snaps are self-contained applications running in a sandbox with mediated access to the host system.

If they're talking about "texting" on snap, it's probably Snapchat. Less relevantly, scams around SNAP may be referring to the Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program, which is the full name for food stamps in the US.

Hearing yes, but I was mostly wondering about the scam types it is used to run.

Step 1: Hot girl invites you to snap with her
Step 2: Hot girl flirts and sends you nudes
Step 3: Hot girl needs money for something
Step 4: Hot girl ghosts you because she was actually some sweatshop worker copy-pasting porn

Or some variant on that.

The account has not been online since, guess they realized we are way too old to scam over all these newfangled services.

More commonly, they just make a bunch of throwaway accounts, send out a bunch of messages, then drop the account unless they get a bite. It's nothing so personal or closely-considered as looking at the age profile of the site.

Most of the time it's not even actual people - they just bot that shit.

You generally set the automated system to do a mass-spam mailing, then wait to see if anyone bites. But they'd be monitoring the Snapchat account for bites, not the account they used to do the mailings. Then don't touch the account again until the next time you want to spam a bunch of messages out.

There definitely were responses and even a "I meant snapchat" today.

Then it's probably just somebody trolling you. I don't know that anyone is actually trying to run a scam through GameFAQs PMs, given that there are substantially larger target bases that are easier to go after than the GameFAQs userbase.
