I get these more often then I should, so I was just wondering. They can't find me through my phone as I have turned that off. I have a killer username, but it ain't short, i.e., no one would purposefully search for it. So, the fact that someone's texting me is weird.

Day before yesterday some woman messaged me to talk about stock options, few months ago another woman texted me to talk about crypto.

And the dp seemed legit, mainly because the woman was not pretty and it didn't look like a photo a scammer would put on. I sometimes feel weird to have to block these people, they talk nice. The guy in the screenshot "needs a friend", I don't :) Should I change my username to something cryptic, something no one would think of typing? something like kdjfaid9fua98d. Also, I am an Indian, does my location have to do anything with this? We don't have any common communities too.
