Skype peepshow

So recently I downloaded skype on my phone, I hate skype and literally just got it so I could talk to my mom face to face while she is in Costa Rica 
Anyways shortly after downloading it I got a friend request from some random account that says its a 26 year old woman on the profile.
So this "woman" messages me right away asking if I am busy than go's on to say "I am lonely lets have some fun" 
That raises some immediate red flags for me as it sounds pretty suspicious IMO, anyways this person has been messaging me daily trying to get me to watch her skype cam or some shit. I have been basically ignoring "her" becouse its weird and I doubt its legitimately a lonely sexy lady at the same time I don't see how someone could benefit from lying and enticing me like this...
What are your thoughts on this strange situation?

That is what I was thinking it just seems like a weird way to get customers 
As soon as people ask me for money like that I ignore them basically.
Still I thought maybe she would give me a short free show than try to get money off me for more or something 
The whole thing just seems weird and reminds me of adds from porn sites

Same thing happened to me on skype. She will try to send you a link to a site to watch her on webcam. This website will ask you for your credit card number. She could be a robot too. Ask her weird questions to find out for sure.

Haven't used skype in years. How do random people get your info to talk? Who knows, it could be a lonely woman if you have a profile pic or somethin even though the chance is small. I remember when I used a music downloading site called "bear share" years ago this girl started randomly messaging me in the chat room, she turned out to be a really hot Brazilian who was horny as hell all the time and would call me "King." We did a lot of sexy skyping and talked on the phone kinda often too. Never paid her anything and she never asked, it was just a lucky situation.

A buddy of mine did this, and the girl on the other end recorded the video of him naked and wackin' it to her. She played up the whole thing too, real person, actually nude, actually going to town on herself in the video. He showed us pics and everything. Pretty hot girl, she worked him into conversation for days preceding the event and everything.
But she saved the video of him, and tried to extort him for whatever money she could. Threatened to post the video on his facebook, send it to all his family and stuff which she already collected the info of and everything. He was super stressed out about it, and asked pretty much everyone for advice. By the time everyone he knew had heard the story, then it was already out. Everyone had a good laugh at him, but he didn't end up paying because it was already no secret by the end of the week. He had just told everyone what happened and saved the $500 or whatever else she was trying to dig for.

This is what I would think the scam would be.

I just asked if she is trying to get money from me and got a super generic response so I asked if its a bot 
Maybe I will ask for a pic to see if it is actually an attractive girl, then I may consider it

Maybe you should save yourself from potential extortion and spend that money on an escort instead

I wouldn't give this person any money for one and I also have no intention of exposing myself on camera for her 
So all she would have to extort me over is a really vague conversation between us.
I am definitely not getting an escort either, I am not that desperate and would rather save my money anyways

Spending money on an escort isn't desperation, it's just a shortcut lol

Logon to Skype and say 'Where my freaks at' while trying to start some video action.
Report back. 
If she tries to get you to go to a website then you have your answer.

It's 100% not a real person. It's a bot programmed to type messages set on timers to look like they are actually typing a message.

It was a bit, I finally questioned it a bit and it was obvious 
Makes sense since they found my account so fast.
