Do you just strike up friendships with random people who message you?

  Come on. It used to be perfectly normal.

    Was it? I can understand making friends with people you bump into randomly throughout the day, but someone just sending you a message isn't exactly bumping into you, it seems like the person was explicitly seeking you out.

      In the late 90s early 00s I got the feeling there was alot of (and I myself self made some) random encounter pen pals. Like in "Hi whats up where are you from?". The real people to scammer ratio seemed way different back then. But ye, if someone texts me on some chat service nowadays and it is a stranger I assume it is a scam.
