What do you think the scam is about?
For example, you give an empty wallet in exchange for 3 btc.
If with the help of your empty wallet I earn, for example 100 btc - in this case 3 btc for help can I afford?
So, What do you lose?

It sounds scam for me..3 BTC is alot mate.
TL;DR: Find the private key for any of these public keys and receive 3 BTC.
Here are my thoughts:
How?
Finding a private key given only a public key is practicably impossible. It is not worth even trying, even for $150,000.
Why?
Here is a wild guess: @criptonist has a master public key to a hierarchical wallet, and along with a child private key that you are asked to provide, she can compute the master private key and take BTC from addresses not listed. Since it costs nothing to have others search for the private key, @cryptonist has nothing to lose by asking.
