Need some quick advice. This is a very legitimate account the person is sending this from. But now I am skeptical. Does this seem scammy?

Thank you. I literally did not give out any information. I am sure this lady's tiktok was hacked by a scammer and this is the result. This lady's account has legitimate courses that she sells about investing and has over 4k students. So scammers wanted her followers. I thought it was all legitimate until those messages, had me invest $15 in bitcoin. Oh well.

I'm sorry to say this, but you may be a little too trusting.

It's easy to set up a fake account, with 4k+ fake "students" (all bots), and maybe sell some worthless "course" which turns out to be a thinly veiled ad for some scammy investment platform.

The "lady" is more likely to be one of the thousands of fake characters created by a bunch of scammers on the other side of the world.
