Has anyone encountered scammers on here?

This one girl created an account 18 months ago
She has 2games played
She is in 67 groups
She is online all the time, just adding new friends

Am I crazy for thinking something seems off here?

She now has 200 friends. Just had someone PM me about this... not sure whats going on.

It is infrequent that a user has more friends and groups than games played, but why is that bothering you?

I also got a friend request from that user, 202 friends and 2 games played.
We have nothing in common, we're not from the same country, or area, or ever met in a game.

It does feel like something is strange at best or nefarious/stalkery at worst.

No. I accepted a friend request from the user in question (99% of the time a request comes from someone I should say yes to even if I cannot remember the name). Nothing subsequently happened. I assume this is just an extension of social network behaviour.
