generally such scams happen really quickly -- basically victims don't have time to think or process. if you notice, every time saba starts to think, he seduces her with his sweet words that she gets totally distracted. then instead of being suspicious, she goes along with the flow.
it is the IG type scams that involve social media are the long con. the shaadi type scams are quick, fleece and exit.
also even without scams, there are many families where they demand the dowry immediately - knew one relative where the guy's family said they needed to put everything in locker and wanted all the gift money to be transferred to their bank account. this was within a week or two after the wedding. it took a lot of negotiation and back and forth to say that we (girl's side) were going to keep the jewelry in her safe (family) and the money was being used to furnish the house as relatives had given gifts to buy specific items. so it depends -- some people are shrewd but other girls and families are afraid to rock the boat and ask too many questions initially.
