Is this a bit spooky, or am I being unkind?

When I reported my poorly foot, I had several PMs from men sympathizing, but also wanting to engage in ‘conversations’ as I sounded lovely!!

Just delete!

I had a PM from them today too, probably saying the same thing, I haven't opened it or replied.

I had a similar message from Marcv on 14 May. Perhaps the two are connected.

Perhaps the moderators should be informed.

He wants to start a beautiful relationship which will end in dear, kind, lovely you sending him all your savings.
Delete and block.

It is phishing for a romance scam, a con . Delete immediately. They will try to befriend you then ask for money.

I would be VERY careful or preferably ignore. I’m very
cynical and suspicious about such messages

Good morning 🌞
I hope today brings you calm moments and positive vibes. I know we haven’t chatted before, but I came across your profile and something about it caught my attention—it feels like we could really vibe well. If you're open to it, I’d love to start a conversation and maybe build a genuine friendship beyond this app. No pressure at all—just reaching out with warm energy and good intentions.
Wishing you a beautiful day!
