This is the first private message I get on Lemmy, it immediately seemed suspicious to me so I tried the famous thing.... and it worked!

When I got this kind of message I immediately blocked them. Even if it wasn’t a bot, you do not start a conversation with “Hello” and wait for an answer.
I get at least one a day over text just saying "hello"
Have since started reporing as spam and blocking ever single one
