After I blocked a romance scammer, a new account claimed to be their friend explaining everything. I ignored it. Is the second-wave pattern common?

Very common. Same operation, new costume. No engagement is the move.
Report and block again. Mention the linked pattern in the platform report if there is a free-text field.
