I’ve seen this bot here since January, and the fucking thing still doesn’t let up.
Got one too. What’s funny is this is not even a good photo.
looks taken from a video. my guess is it’s a random girl who they stole it from.
I think you mean woman
A lot of people use girl and woman interchangeably without meaning it to be demeaning at all.
I’ve seen women here state that they find it offensive. It is dehumanizing and should be avoided.
Oh, boy
It’s like the misspellings in the phishing emails: it ensures only people who will fall for the trick will respond. If some model messaged you out of the blue, you’re more likely to be suspicious or you feel that you’re super attractive and a model might actually reach out to you. Either way you’re more likely to not bite on the bait.
I’m not even talking about the beauty of the woman in the photo, I just mean it’s a blurry, poorly-lit photo that’s taken at a bad angle.
Maybe that’s to make it seem more “real”? I’m not sure.
you say they misspell on purpose?
Yup. It’s why the scams by phone are so irritating to most of us, as another example. It’s just obvious and a time waster, but by making the scam easily visible to people who have the characteristics to not be vulnerable to them, it weeds out all the false positives the scammers would then have to deal with. They don’t want you, mr. bright eyed and bushy tailed, who is ready to catch them out only after hours of trying to get you to give them the code to your gift cards. That’s a lot of wasted time. They just want granny who will follow every direction.
Oh. And I thought they were just a bunch of idiots to make it so obvious. I would love to read scamming for dummies book tbh if one exists
That’s kinda rude. Presumably they stole the profile picture from some uninvolved person.
I’m not saying she’s ugly or anything this is just a blurry, poorly-lit, poorly-angled photo with no character to it.
I got it, too, banned the sender, and deleted it as it was obviously a scam. But now that it seems to come back, what was it about, actually? Do they just want to harvest data, or what did they want?
Romance scammer, i’d assume.
So, the “I love you, send me money so I can come visit you” thing?
Or, **I love you, send me naked pictures and I’ll send you naked pictures and then “my father” will find out and contact you to extort money from you for sending and receiving underaged porn images and if you don’t send money they’ll report you to the police. **
Instance based skill issue, apparently.
It sure would be nice if you could report accounts as bots.

You out there, Nicole? You listening to this?
He called you so many times and you never call him back
You never call my buggy
Did you hear that, Nicole?
Fuck! Fucking cunt!
Call me back!I got only one, but I didn’t block it so we’ll see.
It’s a shame people can’t just seek out friends at random for real, but in this day and age it’s obviously a scam.
Granted, Lemmy people… idk, I guess a Lemmy friend is the kind you dm when you accidentally break your Linux. Or idk, discuss Marxism? Lol
Blocking doesn’t work since they create new accounts on bunch of different Lemmy instances every time.
I think the issue is the “random” part of it. If I had a back and forth with someone on a gaming or LGBT or political organizing community, and the exchange was pleasant and they wanted to chat more, I wouldn’t be opposed, but if I’ve never interacted with someone and they are essentially spamming any and everyone the same copypasta, yea that’s not someone I want to interact with. Shout out to lemmings that help with Linux too.
it’s from different users on different instances blocking won’t work :(
I “finally” got one as well.
I wonder what this bot is trying to do. The friendica being just a weird profile, the discord just had a bunch of confused basement dwellers and I haven’t seen any creepy links trying to rob us…
Wow so many people got it.
I just got one too
You can add me on Friendica
Well that’s a huge red flag right there. Nobody uses Friendica.
@sunshine@lemmy.ca is annoyed at you now.
I really do like the project!
Same! Honestly one of my favourite fediverse softwares.
Dibs!
Lol, I got mine yesterday. I’d always felt sooooo left out.
I’ve only ever received one from them. One of the fediverse’s flaws is no central blacklist so if your instance isn’t moderated well and actively you’re gonna have a bad time.
I think I remember them talking about tools and lists to share between instances but idk what the progress is on that or who was in charge of it.
