New way of scam?

I have two rental properties, recently, I had to put both on the market for rent. I put on zillow and craigslist first without agent's help. I'm not sure if it is just me or this is something common nowadays.

I got reply, a lady's email saying she really want to see this property and would like meet me at my property. Then, I googled her phone number and it turned out to be an escort lady's phone number. For both case, same thing happened. Two different escort ladies. I am a little baffled here. Is this a new way to scam? I sure hasn't called them back yet, and I replied one email and no reply thereafter. Therefore, I don't believe it is the lady who sent me the inquiry.

So, I guess this is the begining of new type of scam? Does any of you encounter this type of problem? Who on the earth has so much time to do something like this?

Thank you for reading my post.

Have not heard about anything like that.

It may not be a scam, escorts need to live somewhere to.
