I would be impressed. It seems like real convo, they follow up and ask more personal questions etc.

At the end they said they were wanting to invest in my field.

They tried to take offline, also said they wanted to meet in person etc.

Pretending to be a woman visiting town.

Seems like they are trying to scam people.

Could totally just be locals. But seems like English is not their first language.

I engaged to see what it was about. First I legit thought it was a tourist asking the mod about local sites.. but when they said they wanna have coffee lol I was like ok stranger female trying to have coffee with me this is a scammer lemme see what the scam is.

I started acting silly and less interested and they also lost interest
