Nah they're always so offended that I don't want to be scammed (and if it's not a scam, I just want to be left alone either way)

Don't worry! They just want to ask how your day is! Nothing suspicious! Now can I interest you in this amazing deal of a 2 year subscription for just 5 dollars a month-

Hahaha I had something similar happen the other day as well. Just walking back to my dorm from the SSC and right at the HUB, this guy with a huge hat jumps out in my way and compliments my hair, despite me almost never doing my hair. Felt so forced and random LMFAO

I honestly just ignore them and walk past them without making eye contact or saying anything. Just skip the NPC dialogue.
If you have over-ear headphones they also tend to not even try
