      It's spam, if you want to avoid it you can turn off guest comments for all your works or just individual works.

      I'll go one step further - it's a scam to establish a relationship where they may ask you do dodgy things in the future.

          No worries. It's not just on Ao3, they've been trying to scam players in a game that I play. :(

          A good rule of thumb these days is if they ask to speak off ao3, it's a scam.
