Seriously, y'all need to stop doing the spammers work for them by reposting it
People, stop it, she already promised to marry me once the bitcoin transfer is received.
Yeah I got that same message. I think I deleted it because it's no longer in my inbox.
New picture?
I fell for her pretty hard, I don't even mind that we all share but I get Saturday nights.
Everyone knows there are no girls on the internet
Only in porn.
nope, if that porn is on the internet those are MEN and that porn is GAY 🌈
Wait for Prince of Nigeria to hear about Fediverse.
I got this message yesterday and checked out the matrix server. It was a bunch of anime profiles spewing racist nonsense. Reminded me of 4chan with the vibes. Not for me.
Hello all! I'm Rose. Also a Fediverse chick. Unlike Nicole I don't spam people. Also I'm not on Friendica (not many people are) and you probably shouldn't add me as a friend on any Fedi platform because I'm a hella boring nerd.
How do I send money to you?
I feel like hella boring and nerd are mutually exclusive
Depends if you're into each particular nerd's special interest(s)
Hi! I'm John, but you can call me the fediverse dude. Unlike nicole and Rose, I don't claim to be someone i'm not! Please add me on all platforms, I crave attention!
(Sorry Rose, I need this)
Now we're talking!
I am interested.
What kinda nerd?
She’s like our Myspace Tom
Has anyone had a chat with her?
Incels. Incels are falling for that crap.
We're engaged. Will be getting married as soon as my deposit check for half the expenses clears.
What a coincidence! I'm the fediverse dude!
My uninformed guess is the person posting this is NOT the person in the picture.
Most likely, it's some weirdo's bizarre roundabout way of harassing whoever's picture this is.This makes sense to me because why else would they keep creating the same exact account on every instance and sending the exact same message?
I never considered this, and I hope it's not true.
If you click ln the socials she shares, she is active there and seems to match the profile picture with the content she uploads.
Srv guys
It was me all along
I'm a hot Toronto girl who just wants your money.
One of the giveaways for me was the complete ignorance of the Canadian post-secondary system.
She said that she's taking pre-health sciences at George Brown College. College in Canada means community college (which George Brown is). You take a course, typically 1-3 years, with a specific goal in mind.
Also, Canadian universities do not offer pre-med or pre-health sciences tracks. You get a degree in chemistry, biology, or whatever, and apply for med school irrespective of the program you are in. One of my classmates was accepted into medical school straight out of chemical engineering. Someone else I know was finishing a degree in Spanish literature when he was accepted into medical school.
When the cost to try something is virtually zero, you don't have to try very hard. If only one in ten thousand people will fall for a scam, then millions of attempts will still get you thousands of successes.
I tried messaging back and she never replied :(
Maybe try again? I received at least six from them. Maybe that's how it's supposed to be. /s
Joke's on you, I got myself a new friend 😌
me :3 I've fallen hard
Stupid question maybe but what's the goal of this scam? The URLs seem safe, is the goal to convince us to send money to her?
It's almost certainly a pig butchering scam
be wary of any man who has a pig farm.
eh bricktop?
Might be just someone wanting to highlight an architecture issue that allows someone to spam everyone.
I'm lonely, OK?
I had seen posts like this circulating before so I tried to track them down:
https://lemmy.cafe/post/14113013
Some of these posts suggest they are using the pictures of someone else on purpose. Some say they're a bot. I personally haven't gotten these messages but I don't get DM's so that's probably why. I'm pretty positive this is some kind of Honeypot scam. Either way I wouldn't trust it.
I've gotten 3 or 4 separate PMs from different alts of this account (same username but different instances) over at least a month now.
I just got one today. My lemmy client couldn't even delete it or read it's notification. Kinda hoping thats a bug if this is going to be a thing
You can't escape Nicole
Has anyone followed the links to see what the deal is?
It seemed pretty out of left field. Like, okay... I'm not clicking on any of that. No explanation of why someone would message me this and as I expected, it seems to have been some sort of widespread spam.
I’ve gotten this message on my mastodon account twice, from different instances/accounts. Blocked them all.
I've had 3 or 4 already of this exact msg.
I got this message on my mastodon account, thought it was weird and just ignored it
