A romance scam is typically when they befriend you through chat. Then when they think you are invested in the relationship, they will send a message that they are in distress and can you send some money to help them out. Or sometimes is a send money for flights to come a see you. Obviously they don't go anywhere beyond that and will just have more reasons to send money. The pictures of the fake person are often lifted from real people's social media. In this case it appears to be a webcam chat with someone.
