Question about two strange situations i may have done well by avoiding.

So a weird coincidence or worse has occurred in the last few months. On a side but important note I was badly injured last year and have a traumatic brain injury but this is not directly about that.

Twice now basically the same freakiest has happened. Some girl I don't know comes out of nowhere and starts talking to me online. Nothing weird or sexual. One started on Facebook and was friends with a legit person I used to know. Both girls moved the convo to WhatsApp. They talk for awhile about whatever. It's actually a little annoying but I have time so I'm like whatever. They both don't live near me at all.

Here's the thing. Both times they start talking about investing in crypto. I have investments and am not bad there but nothing stellar just to set the record straight. Then they want to teach me how to trade in crypto. The first one pointed me to a free web based tool where you can play with fake money. I now forget how that one ended but I stopped it somehow. This last one wanted me to use a downloaded app. I refused. She then kind of threw a rod. I definitely backed out. She threw a bigger rod. I blocked and reported her.

Is this a thing? What the heck kind of game or scam was that? The first one said bigger money to get in was needed - to get good rewards. The second said i could start small but to start. What the f_cj did i avoid?
