What FB scam is this? (midwest.social)

I’m currently running a small giveaway promotion on FB. I keep getting these bot messages about “how can I enter” or “please tell me more about your giveaway.” They’re always the same 1 sentence messages. I’ve been moving them to spam, but I don’t know what the end goal is.

I would assume probably just someone automating giveaway entries for maximum loot vs. effort.

That seems likely, cheers
