Sudden Increase in iMessage Spam

Example spam on iMessage

Lately, I've been getting a lot of iMessage spam. The accounts appear to be mostly Russian and they seem to be offering escort services. Presumably at some point this transforms into a Pig butchering scam. It could be as simple as just AI making it easier to run these scams or more complicated like people are losing their accounts on Russian sites.

Here's an example of this (with the actual Telegram ID changed):

Only a few spots available for a relationship based on flexibility, mutual respect, and a zero-tolerance policy toward violence and alcohol.

I am a 23-year-old university graduate. I work part-time with friends, which gives me the freedom to travel at any time. Adult toys are welcome, and overnight stays are an option.
