I’ve seen this bot here since January, and the fucking thing still doesn’t let up.
Very tempted to change my display name to Fediverse Chick.
Enjoy everyone, we’re living through fediverse history. This is our dancing baby (or maybe more like the “love you” worm).
Has anybody actually followed the links? I’m mildly curious where it goes.
Hi, I’m Nicolas, but you can call me the TSAR OF THE GREAT RUSSIAN EMPIRE
Still like you more than Putin.
Not Nigerian enough.
Instance checks out
Its started hitting the microblogging side of the fediverse.
After hearing about this for months, I have finally also been the recipient of them xD
I just find it most amusing that their room for chatting is “hell”
Ugh I know. Do I look like I’m after something like that? Stupid bots.
Wow so many people got 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?
“Listen. And understand. Nicole is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are phished!”
Is it a phishing attempt? I figured it was drive-by malware or camgirl spam or something
Last time this account made it’s rounds, someone found a pic they’d posted of a buttplug with an old, bald white man clearly reflecting back off of the shiny parts. The account immediately deleted the photo after that user pointed it out.
That doesn’t answer what their intentions are but they’re obviously not good.
Is it weird that I feel less threatened by an old white man who owns a butt plug than one who doesn’t?
I don’t actually know, but I had to finish the quote with something snappy.
Creative liberties?? On my communist Linux forum??? Completely understandable, have a nice day
Get ready to be “pig butchered”.
Pig butchered? I’m already halfway there!
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.
i actually made an account a few weeks back just to take a look at it
deleted by creator
There is always that vanishingly small chance this is a real person confused as to why nobody responds and their accounts keep getting banned. :-)
“Why doesn’t anyone wanna be my friend? I’ve asked everyone… Asked them multiple times!”
Someone who truly just wants to make new friends! Nooooo
That must be why missy29 now goes by nicole.
Got a few myself! Looks like whoever is behind it keep registering on different instances.
Would be interesting to know why they do it
I’m afraid they’re doing this to harass whoever’s that girl in the picture
What is this, like, the opposite of occam’s razor? The least likely, most esoteric possible explanation is the true one?
How that possible? Looks like a random photo, or whatever.
I want to do a deeper investigation to find who is behind it
Can instance admins check her IP?
I agree, maybe its some social experiment
Probably a scam since it always links to other places. Chances are it will be a “investment opportunity” or something related.
You join a group of what looks like real people but it actually is just a bunch of bots that say how good some scam product or opportunity is.
Could also be a harassment campaign.
Well, yeah. Sad.
Amazing. Like OP, I’ve lost count.
Me neither. We’re so unlovable, even the bots stay away!
