    I’ve received four messages. My guess is it’s either a pig-butchering scam or a covert doxxing attempt, and the incessant spam is a means of baiting people to unknowingly take their anger out on the real Nicole by contacting her workplace/address. I didn’t click on the link for the chatroom named “hell” but I did copy and paste the link into Internet Archive, saved the webpage, and only got an error page in return.

    I’m low-key convinced that this is either:

    1. A spam vulnerability test for various instances/communities. (With good or bad intentions.)
    2. A doxxing attempt. (Some links lead to addresses.)

    If the latter, I hope we can reverse the negativity by creating a GoFundMe for her or something.

    A lot of people did. Like almost everyone knows it’s a scam and people have been shitposting it and forming a cult

    Yes frequently.

    It’s annoying. But not as bad as the stupid community that keeps posting screenshots of it and spreading it further.

      Haha I think she’s here to greet people to the fediverse! She was wearing a different shirt when she messaged me!

    Yes, and her invitations are a trap designed to steal from you.

    Would be neat if automated daters came in men. Alas, they always come in women.

      I dunno about that, honestly. The images are clearly screenshots of a webcam, and the matrix seems to dox someone’s workplace. I think it could be a harassment campaign.

        True. Boy have I witnessed a lot of that before. Sadly the people around these parts are none the wiser, which I knew even before I could relate to Nicole, supposing this is the case.

    Yeah, I did a week ago. Blocked the account. Got a new one today but the messages was surprisingly “censored”, so just blocked that account as well.

    Just give it no attention. Block and move on, the person isn’t worth any attention.
