Default Web Scammer or Big Brother ?

I'm on several other forums, some frequently, some not. CorvetteForum/C4/Tech-performance is one of the unfrequent ones. Mostly when something breaks. 2,512 posts since August 2001. I did a lot of techie stuff; trans swaps; EPROM burning; shifter swaps; exhaust upgrades. Car stuff. Lots of posts; many threads.

So today I wake up with a Friend Request from a 'Vickie Campbell' in Antioch CA. Her 'About' says - Local 107 Stagehand, Oakland, CA. , white 1986 Corvette, Female. Member since 05-09-2017. No posts. No threads. One other Friend, Renee73. Renee73 has been a member since 02-17-2020. Also no posts, no threads. And as of this afternoon, no longer a friend of Vickie's.

So...Am I being set up for some kind of scam??? Or are the authorities running some kind of sting operation???

I sent a PM asking what area of the C4 'she' was interested in, as I've posted about many. No reply.

I know I'm paranoid, but am I paranoid enough??? Maybe just some bored chick thing, joining an obscure Forum to bug guys???

If it's a scam, it's a new one on me.

Oh, I accepted her Friend Request.
