Scam in Taipei

I was in Taipei over the weekend and a scam came up, which I've seen discussed here.
Connection via Line (there were loads of connections on WeChat, but just normal girls to your room).
Connection offers a very good price (alarm bell) and also wants you to come over. Asks for your phone number many times (again I've heard about this being a pressure tactic...) Get close and then suddenly wants you to go to buy gift cards for a convenience store.. insistent. I just cut my losses and went for a drink.
Does anyone know how this scam works?
