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
People, stop it, she already promised to marry me once the bitcoin transfer is received.
I cashapp sent her my life savings. She’s going to wire me back 10x that amount any minute now.
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 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)
added!
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?
Now we’re talking!
Hi im the fediverse money please!
Gotta love Nicole
For sure wouldnt be doing it if it didnt work. Id assume theres a small percentage of the people they send this to think its real
Remarkably pedestrian photo for a scam. And 29yo seems old for a fantasy girl too.
I guess they understand that it’s older guys who have the money, and even those guys know they’ll never make it with an 18yo.
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 🌈
We’re engaged. Will be getting married as soon as my deposit check for half the expenses clears.
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.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.
I never considered this, and I hope it’s not true.
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.
Incels. Incels are falling for that crap.
What a coincidence! I’m the fediverse dude!
I fell for her pretty hard, I don’t even mind that we all share but I get Saturday nights.
What would it mean to fall for it?
Are the links themselves dangerous?
