Given they send the same message every time without a clear angle for the scam I almost wonder if it's less about scamming and more about giving Lemmy and the Fediverse at large a chance to improve its mod tools before really nasty spam starts taking hold
Best guess: it's like the innocuous "wrong number" scam or the looking for love email scams. Talk with "her", form a "friendship" or "romance" until she has your trust enough to sucker you into buying whatever scam bitcoin or sending money.
