PS4 message from a bot?

Namely: I recently got a message from a PrettyCamilla ". I realize that this is a bot, because of the name and because the first message was" How old are you? ". Blocked the bot.

But what I asked myself: How do they come up with me? I don't follow anyone on PS4, I just have a few friends. Have you ever had similar experiences or do you know where they got that from. Is it possible to block messages in general? I only write with my friends via WhatsApp anyway…

It works in a similar way to the bots on Instagram, just like everyone gets these messages. They'll probably go through a list from A-Z and write to everyone.

Addendum: Games but now on PS5 there's no such problem.

You can specify under settings that only friends can send you messages.

I'll try it out, thank you.

It's just a bot that automatically writes to everything and everyone. Just delete and block.

PS5 is message bot free?
