Potential scam???

Alright so I’m a really small artist like literally less than 50 listeners and I got a message from an account on SoundCloud right after I dropped my most recent single and it was the whole thing of claiming to be A&R and wanting to sign me, and look usually I spot these things immediately and know it’s fake, but for the first time they asked for my phone number, and after talking for a bit they don’t want a single penny from me but to get info from me such as my hometown, marital status, a photo of me, age and name ETC and I know these are things a legit label would ask but I don’t know man I’ve grew up on the internet for so long I’ve seen how important online privacy is and I really don’t wanna give all this info to someone malicious, so if anyone has any experience with them or getting signed in general I would highly appreciate it!
