Greed is one factor scammers rely on when dealing with other users. I would imagine a lot of other users would take the offer of 0.1ETH for a seemingly empty wallet address without considering the reasons why the other party needs it.
This privacy issue is what makes bounty campaigns unattractive. Bounty hunters have to give up personal information, like telegram username, and in some situation, other social media handles in order to register and such data is publicly displayed on spreadsheets, this would allow scammers to link user's identity and selectively target accounts with personalized scam attempts.

The sad part is that a large sum of people do not delimit their privacy setting, and are therefore approached unwillingly. Those that are gullible enough may be tricked into any sort of rough deal hidden behind a party cake, often to find out that it’s no sweet deal.
Privacy settings on telegram should prevents all these kind of scam messages from scammers
Although, I never delimit privacy settings just because I never think it's that important and because I think it's only important if on has low knowledge about what's going on or receives too much messages from scammers.
Lol, story. Unfortunately, the one who tried to scam you were got nothing but the good thing is, it helps you to know that you're eligible for claiming UNI which is a pretty good amount and which is free.
I've done this before, it's good playing someone who tries you to scam. It is similar to what I've experienced, asking me to withdraw his 3.6 Bitcoin on exchange and the rest of 3 will be mine. If you were smarter, you may think why someone willing to give you that amount, for sure it has an exchange that has a good benefit to them.
Congrats you didn't fool by him, it's a well-played.

I’m so glad I’ve hardly ever interacted with anyone using Telegram: As far as I recall, one forum member, and a couple of ICO managers back in the day (didn't that go well ...). It seems so full of needless conversations initiated by scammers that get a free pass at trying to take on people one-on-one.

You played his game very well that you gained something without giving up anything. You turn the situation upside down that you made him beg for something you have. A nice way to handle today's scammer.
This just proves that internet is just right there beside you, if you are suspicious of something, just research something about it, look for something that will ease your suspicion. The more knowledgable you get, the more you gain advantage against something like this
You got it.. Scammers are just too greedy and eager to get what they want. I know he will have been thinking of a way and strategy to use for a while before deciding to starting is scamming operation. But unfortunately as u have said,

I saw a notification of a message from a stranger today today and I decided to reply because I was able to view this person's phone number.
So after the greetings and everything, this person said he wants to buy my wallet ( My eth wallet) I was shocked but I had to continue the conversation because I've never come across anyone buying empty ether wallet because the address starts with some sort of alphabets or numbers and also willing to pay 0.1 eth for an empty wallet. So i asked him to wait and I went to my browser to check if my wallet is eligible for uni token. I saw claim uni and I was like. How?. So,I checked all my previous transactions and I saw and unsuccessful Uniswap transaction. This made me remembere that I once made an unsuccessful transaction on Uniswap trying to buy yam token.
See the screenshots of the conversation
He later begged for 50/50 share on my own UNI after trying to trick me with 0.1 eth to get UNI that worth more than 5eth.
So, I was able to became aware that I'm eligible for 400 UNI because I replied a stranger's message
Im trying to be honest.
I used my brain and I understand that buying and empty ether wallet because of some sorts of numbers doesn't makes sense.
And Not because I'm smarter than anyone but because I don't let 0.1 eth freak me.
So, always, try to be honest and your positive thought will fetch you something right to do.
Thanks to the scammer for letting me know that I have UNI
