    There's no need to respond to them - it's kind of weird that they NMed you out of the blue. You don't owe 'em a response!

    Is there any potential that this is an attempt to get into my account? Was this ever a thing/is still a thing?

    I'm not sure how they could get into your account via a NM?

    But to back up Flordibel, I'd just delete and ignore it. I don't respond to any NM fishing for some type of information.

    I'd probably just ignore it and move along.
    Is it cloudarcanine? I have noticed they send a shit ton of random NMs out to accounts lol

    Thank you both @(you need an account to see links) and @(you need an account to see links) for your responses.

    I don't know either, it just felt very strange like they were seeing if I'm "active" or not. I remember years ago there was the 'dont look at random userlookups' scare so I was a little nervous!
    Its good to know that its not any well-known hack at least..

    Thanks for the reassurance Royal

    Not him but this person could be after one of my UCs because they have a picture of one on their lookup & on one of their petpages, has a design/petpet combo for this UC.

    Ahhh gotcha. They could just be trying to buddy up to see if you'd be willing to take a trade for a pet or something.
    You definitely aren't under any obligation to reply if you don't know the person, don't worry!

    If your status is set to stealth and you don't have any recently released wearables/pet colors on your account I'd also be curious if they're nosing about trying to see if it's an abandoned account or not. Like everyone else says, you have no obligation to reply to them and I'd refuse out of spite, but I would make sure I had 2FA enabled just in case.

    Thank you Alister, I did wonder whether that was the case.

    I really appreciate the recommendations!
