      This kind of attack is currently hard to mitigate as it comes from different accounts and different servers. Maybe there’s a way to filter incoming messages by keywords?

      Otherwise, this is just an automatic bot, you can safely ignore it.

    I had forgotten those were a thing ever since I got off Tinder. Luckily I’ve always been too cynical to believe unsolicited messages from women lol

      Also, the term “pre-health science”, that “she” used has never been used in Canada as far as I know. We don’t even say pre-med. Either you are in med school, or you are trying to get in, taking a variety of courses. There is no defined set of courses that we call pre-med.

      Other differences between us and the US regarding post-secondary education:

      Canadian universities are also almost completely free of fraternities and sororities.

      We have sports scholarships, but they are nowhere near as lavish as in the US. Sports in general is a minor sideline for Canadian universities.

      And to us, college always means community college. University is university (and never “uni” as some benighted countries call it).

      It doesn’t take long to realize one can post in a “penpal” or similar communtity (create one if there isn’t) rather than messaging an awful number of strangers. Spamming is not okay either way, too bad few people realize it is spam without it being exposed by others.

    I got a similar message from that user and a near identical one earlier from a lemmings.world account. The latter onr also had links to a peertube channel with a different angle thumbnail of what appears to be the same person.

    If you had an established profile and DM’d me I’d be more humoured to respond to out-of-the-blue introductions. But seeing that both accounts were created today, no public activity and immediately giving yourself a horny-bait nickname set off all the BS alarms.

    They seem indomitable and I generally hate being on the losing side, so… Hey, it’s me. The sex person with the sex. F/18/under your floorboards. Stick your debit card through the slats for good, fun sex or else
