how would they go about scaming me? like when i would go to spain, what would happen? something like kidnapping or straight up slavery/prostitution.
That’s actually a very old scam, not a new one. Look up “nigerian 419 scam” or “advance fee scam”.
What’s slightly out of the norm is you usually get these via email these days. I used to get similar emails in the late 1990s already. It’s always the same format, like the person is a lawyer or next of kin for some dead person who had lots of money and they need your help to move the funds, and you’ll get a cut for helping.
What they ask you to do is send them money to process administrative fees or whatever bullshit. That’s how they make money off of you. They can keep burying you in fees and payment requests until you give up.
And yes there is significant risk to yourself (not just your money) if you were to meet these people in person.
