    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.

    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?

      Might be just someone wanting to highlight an architecture issue that allows someone to spam everyone.

    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?

      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.

      If you click ln the socials she shares, she is active there and seems to match the profile picture with the content she uploads.

    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 had seen posts like this circulating before so I tried to track them down:

    https://lemm.ee/post/57432653

    https://jlai.lu/post/16111085

    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 would trust it.
