Random foreigners will follow me and I don’t even know them. Why would they choose me to follow when I only have 22 followers? I’m kind of paranoid about this as this is the third instance some random (a little bit shady) foreigner has followed me. I know I can always block them, but ugh. At least it doesn’t show that I’ve blocked them? I’m probably overthinking this way too much haha.

I’ve had people I don’t know follow me, but never foreigners. Unless they say something bad about you on one of your pictures, don’t worry about it.
Also, I’ve learned not to really worry about any drama on Instagram (who follows who, who liked what, etc.).

People find you through posts you like, things you tag, pages you follow, and stuff like that.
Most are spammers, so ignore and move on.
One day, I was surprised to see a model with some big number of followers request to follow me, obviously a nobody. I accepted and followed back, just for the hell of it. The next time I opened Instagram she wasn’t on my list of followers anymore lol.

Could be a fake account? My page is private so I don't accept random requests.

Maybe they like your content? Or they hope you follow them in return. Networking, and all that jazz.

Do spammers on Instagram have legit looking photos? This particular one seems to be too real to be fake...

Congratulations, today you learned that on these online social things anyone will follow/like/tweet/mention anyone :). Also, these things usually happen on the World Wide Web, keyword World... If you don’t feel comfortable with sharing things or getting followed by people from anywhere in the world, you might be missing the point.
I’m sorry, I’m being a (foreign :P) dick... I’ve had a drink or two. Long story short, don’t worry about it. Unless you are in the habit of posting images of your credit card, social security numbers and passwords, I’m pretty sure you will be fine.

I don’t think so... Seems like hard content to fake.
It used to be private, then I went off of private, but after I block this person I'm going back to private.

Well, they could be spammers or desperate people looking for a friend online. Some spammers have blatantly obvious fake photos/profile pictures/descriptions/tags.
Honestly I would just block them or set my profile to private, the latter of which I already did.

I don’t ever get really weird followers on instagram. The ones I don’t know are ghosts anyways.

They’re probably spambots. Block them. Or if you’re private, reject them.
Also, what’s your Instagram name?

You really like the GL. I don't blame you, I tried talking my parents into one before my mom fell in love with the Q7.

Followed (@dynamicdrifter). And it’s honestly ok to be concerned. You don’t need spam in your life. Unless it’s Spam in a can.

I feel like they only offered those wheels for 1 or 2 years. I’ve never seen them and they definitely weren’t available on the ‘15 or ‘16.

Yes. The GL is so perfect. I feel like a lot of people don’t appreciate the GL enough. My mom doesn’t really ever notice the GL, but she always says how much she likes Land Rovers and similar SUVs of the like. The GL just soilders on in the background providing luxurious transport.

Bots.
I run a instagram page for my car crew. I often put hashtags to get free bot followers, which just makes the account look nice.
A common one is when i put #gta for Greater Toronto Area, and I get bots that are like FREE CASH FOR GTA V @AUTOBOUNDCREW
