Weird Chinese Posts on Profile

[Soda]

So, over the last - I wanna say - 3 or 4 months or so, I've been getting random comments on my profile in Chinese. I have no idea what purpose they serve nor why I specifically keep getting them. My account has no valuable items on it to my knowledge, minus of course a game library which isn't even that big, and I'm hoping anyone would be able to shed some light on these weird messages.

The most recent ones I've got from about 4 hours ago as of the time of this post says the following:

"我和闺蜜 想药泡 企 鹅 呺 56三1四9六36"

Which DeepL has translated to:

"I and my girlfriends want to drug bubble enterprise goose voice 56 three 1 four 9 six 36"

Two identical messages from two different users. This seems like pure gibberish to me but I'm hoping someone here could explain what it is I'm deleting every other day.

And yes, I know I can just turn off public commenting, but it doesn't *bother* me as much as makes me wonder wtf is the point of them.

Thanks.

It's a "business" offer, it seems, similar to the Nigeria email spam. So yeah, report, block, move on.

The point is, if my theory is correct, to get you interested in laundering money, in paying money, something involving using you to get them profit.

I figured it was a scam of some sort, but the fact that the translate results in a message that makes absolutely no sense doesn't seem very "hey, fall for this scam".

There's 2 reasons for this:
1. Idioms. Chinese is, coming to literally nobody's surprise, rather different in its use of idioms from western languages. It also seems that Chinese particularly like idioms (y'know, saying "lend me your ear" isntead of "listen to what I'm going to say") but that may really boil down to REALLY different language usage patterns.
2. Spam is intentionally dumb. I'm not kidding, take any spam email originating from your language circle. Chances are, it'll be barely more Intelligible. This way, spammers "weed out" those who can think, narrowing down the target audience to those dumb enough to fall for the dumbest ♥♥♥♥.

Yes, but my point is, if *were* to fall for this scam, what am I even supposed to *DO*? THAT'S the thing I don't get about it.

Contact the scammer, tell them you're interested in the offer.
