A scammer?
No idea, she never asked for money or data.
Yes a scammer. They send thousands of the same message from tens if not hundreds of accounts.
So at the very least a spammer, but what's the grift?
My suspicion is that she's bored and wants to create her little internet corner, liks a reddit mod wishing a sub into existence. In different social media there were a lot chat-random threads you can be invited into for no particular reason. That's to observe people, collecting them like trinkets, having some power over them and being an internet microcelebrity.
Idk, that has more sense to it than scamming someone there of all places. People there are not the most gulliable for that sort of scam, but are a diverse bunch of nerds who aren't bored of old style long posts, conversations and debates, making them a fine material for such purpose.
EDIT: Got my own on this recent acc while other ones spanning years didn't got it. I copied it, verified the links are what they look like, and proceeded from a clean machine.
Friendica link is a profile with one post (replied to by a Fediverse guy, lol), Discord one is expired, Matrix needs you to be logged into a client and the last one is some matrix-like chat with it's own registration too I guess? None of these links seem personalized. The name of the last chat says 'hell', so I guess it's indeed a chatrandom kind of a deal, of a 4ch kind.
