Has anyone heard about any cases of people asking you for money on here? I mean like scammers, not people you know. Is that a thing?

Because there's this guy that randomly messaged me a couple of days ago asking me how am I, etc, what do I do for work, then he was asking me whether I still live with my parents(I suppose he wanted to know if I'm self-sufficient). I kept pulling away from these questions and steering the convo in a different direction. But then he began asking me about cars and I stopped the convo suspecting that a "do u have a car" question was coming.
Now, today he messaged me again asking whether I had a busy day at work.

Am I overthinking this and the guy is just looking to chat? or is he really interested in my financial status and whether I could "lend" him money?
