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.I never considered this, and I hope it’s not true.
That’s a totally different angle and I hate it. You need to be a special kind of jerk to post someone else’s picture in a spam message.
If you think about it: have you ever gotten a picture of the spammer itself in an spam message
Yup. This is 100% the case. Either it’s a stolen image simply used for scamming, either it’s a harrasment technique.
Frankly I’m kinda amazed that apparently most people thought that was really her spamming everyone.
I don’t think they did. They didn’t consider that it’s someone harassing her though. Most people have only considered it spam/scam, not something targeting whoever she 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?
If you click ln the socials she shares, she is active there and seems to match the profile picture with the content she uploads.
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?
Sheesh, at least buy them a drink or something first, you don’t have to jump straight to brass tax
I am interested.
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)
I feel like hella boring and nerd are mutually exclusive
Depends if you’re into each particular nerd’s special interest(s)
What kinda nerd?
added!
Now we’re talking!
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.
Theres no millions to message though. Some of the accounts are the same people, just jumping servers to fine one that works for them.
I don’t think there is a million people here
Then you have to try multiple times per person, easy.
Got 3 of these messages already. My client doesn’t delete them. So they are stacking up.
I only got one :(
Still at zero :( I’m not sure if I should be thankful or insulted
Same.
Same.
For what it’s worth, your username is really smart
People, stop it, she already promised to marry me once the bitcoin transfer is received.
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!
me :3 I’ve fallen hard
Seriously, y’all need to stop doing the spammers work for them by reposting it
How are we supposed to be aware of the potential scams if they don’t post it though?
If that’s the reason, one can blur out the links and shit. But this is fairly obvious, and also it’s all over lemmy constantly giving free advertisement to the spammer
Don’t dog on my girl Nicole ahahaha
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.
Incels. Incels are falling for that crap.
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
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.
I cashapp sent her my life savings. She’s going to wire me back 10x that amount any minute now.
I sent her my prized collection of shoelaces.
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 🌈
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.
