Oh so it was a bot.
I’ve had a few random PMs from confused people that were just one offs and thought this was one of them. But that is verbatim the message I got from the account.
Did you… Not suspect it was a bot?
It was a 50/50. Given the other strange DMs I’ve gotten, I really couldn’t tell 100%.
Exactly the same feeling for me. My first DM ever and it seemed suspicious. I get a lot of these annoying things in Telegram. They all start the same so it’s easy to figure out. But this one was different. Although the same, in the sense that they always introduce themselves yet still don’t seem to have anything to say, initially.
Yeah… it is global switch day. People switch to the fediverse.
No. Be realistic. Fediverse isn’t ready yet.
Obviously, scammers are ready.
Why censor the spammer?
The girl in the photo may be a victim herself, not the actual spammer.
There is zero evidence either way
I can find a town called Torun in poland. but i’m pretty sure theres no Toronto.
Wait 'til they start saying they use nix os.
You might be surprised to learn that people can be from one place, but live in another.
Hey I got this message, we are going to be going on a date soon. I just need to help her with some financials first, but I don’t see it as an issue.
Remember to give her your bank account details. It will make everything easier.
I got the exact same message, twice, from two different accounts.
Congratulations on being irresistible to Polish girls from Toronto.
Not sure how my wife would feel about that lol
Ask her and find out! We await your report! As does Nicole!
Same, but different city. Very annoying shit.
Sorry, I fell in love with you and couldn’t hold back so I made an alt to DM you
Yup
My first spam on the Fediverse
Like ants at a picnic
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.
i got the same message a few hours ago
Lol, same
I even saw that account commenting on one of my posts, reported it and got removed
Me too. Twice. Same message, same picture, two different users.

I thought she was just lonely and extremely awkward.
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.
She is, and you’re the only person who can fix it, message now!
