Beware. I am glad that I was informed by the news that these kinds of chats may be a new scam tactic, especially when someone we do not know well messages us for the first time. As you can see, this account hasn't replied to anything, giving me the impression that this is indeed a scam tactic.

If they send this to enough people, it's extremely likely that they hit someone who has recently given their number to someone new. This message hits a lot differently if you are hoping for or expecting contact from a number you don't know.
This message is actually really well crafted for targeting someone who is lonely and trying to put themselves out there.
