100% this. I’ve gotten the same spam even on Mastodon. They are cat fishing. They will get you engaged with photos they stole off the Internet (sometimes you find them with reverse search), then try to get more personal on a less moderated medium like email or text, maybe Signal or something. It’s a long con, but can go as far as “pig butchering” scams that can cost you everything. When you get these, just report and block. They’re most likely a bot, or worse: people who are victims of human trafficking forced to scam people. (I suggest not researching this if you have any shred of faith in humanity left.)
