Do you think this scammer just hopes they will, with luck, contact someone named Annie who does yoga?

For the record, I'm a man whose name is not Annie and I don't even like yoga.
That makes sense. I guess there are people gullible enough to respond or they wouldn't do it. I just have a hard time comprehending it.
A lot of times they're looking for lonely people. Or maybe just bored people. There was a last week with John Oliver that did a pretty good in-depth dive on it.
I must have missed that Last Week Tonight. How sad that there are people out there who are that lonely.
It's not just lonliness, they are preying on decency and kindness too.
I wouldn't call it gullible to just assume it was a wrong number. 9/10 times I've received a message like this it's just a wrong number so I would immediately assume that's what happened.
