Stuff like this happens every year and seems to have really taken off this year. Take a peek at this thread: Suspicious Championship Housing Email?
I did a writeup in that thread with a deep dive into that particular scam organization: Suspicious Championship Housing Email? - #22 by Aidan-Mundy
If you have any of the contact info for some of these more targeted schemes (especially interested in the ice cream one @seg9585), I can take a look and see if they are connected to the scamming ring I uncovered in my writeup.
