You’re right. They wouldn’t ask any questions at all, and just send the money.

Agreed, the people falling for this would already fall for a much more basic phishing attempt. Thus, the attacker has no need to put this much extra effort/thought into it.

This doesn't even need to be a hypothetical. We know that the attacked currently do not need to do this, because they don't. Darwin's law is very much in effect for scams of all types.
