AIO resident getting gifts from "famous football player"

I have a resident at the job im working at, shes in her early 60s, in a wheelchair. She's super sweet but I cant tell if she's being scammed, or just good ol catfished. Im not sure whether to have a serious talk with her or not. We live near a major city, she's a huge fan of the football team here. She got a message on Facebook from allegedly a player in this team. The weird thing is he isn't asking her for money, he's the one SENDING her money so thats why im unsure if im overreacting by trying to talk to her about this. Hes sent her multiple gift cards, a t shirt and some Gatorade she wanted. She doesnt use the gift cards, she just sends the codes back to him because she doesnt need them, she doesnt buy them theyre sent. He sent this weird t shirt that just had a png picture of the football player on it. As far as I know nothing is sexual, he's sent 1 picture of himself I guess and asked what she looks like. Its so weird, like is this just a lonely guy who wants to spoil a pretty lady or someone who has alterior motives later on? Should I talk to her about this? Am I just being nosey lol. Im a CNA at this place and care for her, she is physically disabled not mentally but she can be gullible sometimes
