Can this be considered scamming?

Hey, so as many of you have probably noticed, there is a constant spam of people claiming to have inside information regarding the next event. It is literally a copy-paste message asking for 100g for anyone looking for the info. And after talking to some of them, each and every single one claims to have been inside the event and having critical information about it.
Can this be considered scamming? Is it worth it reporting them via an in-game ticket? Or should I just /ignore every single one of them?
