Was it spam?

General
Ok, something weird occured. Someone FAV'ed one picture of mine, watched me, followed me, and has send me a Note, in which they've offered to help my profile grow, get exposure on social media. Offering to give me some analysis of potential benefits and stuff like that, sending me a very short link to who knows where
I politely rejected the offer, because I don't care about exposure, plus I felt like a link like this would be potentially risky, so I ignored it.
However then I looked at the person's profile, it was created today, they were following hundreds of people already within a day, seemingly filling their favorites with 1 picture of each artist they caught this way. I presume they send them the same message as they send me.
A few hours later, the profile has been deactivated.
Since I'm 99% sure it is a scam of some suspicious sort, I am putting up the name of said person and urging people to be careful:

It's not just you, Yes it is a scam, it happened to a few other people I am watching too, and to me, a few profiles that fit the description you gave sent me a note with a link saying check out this sexy picture. Be careful

OP
I wonder what the link even does. There's always someone who just clicks it. I'm just wondering if it's a malicious virus, or someone just trying to cheaply get people to visit their website or something

NO NO NO DO NOT WONDER curiosity compromised the cat's computer and/or phone. This is a windowless white van situation.
