Do I use 'she' or 'they' here?

I do not like girls that come up to me and tells me she's interested in my money.

Should I use "they" for the plural "girls"? or is she fine?

Thanks so much for your help!!

Adding to Clive's comments, "who" may be a better relative pronoun for "girls"; although "that" is not wrong.
