    Nicole is the most successful spam campaign ever. She’s got lemmings reposting her spam every day and highly upvoting it.

    So, who is going to offer themselves up as bait to find out what her scam angle is?

    Scammers don’t spam unless it “sticks”.

    Tell you what Nicole is really dedicated to making friends on here. Messaged just about everybody, with multiple accounts even. Definitely nothing suspicious about that /s

    The fact that they’re still doing this means people are falling for it, and I feel sorry for those people, cause this scam is clearly designed to prey on those who feel lonely and are too naive to know better

          A month ago, we were all scratching our heads over WTF is going on and is it a bot or not. The fact that they’re not defending themselves and jumping instances to avoid bans suggests a bot. This needs to be made public.

            Report it and move the fuck on… it’s bad enough that I’ve received this ~5 times. I don’t need to see three fucking threads for it every day. Everyone who needs to know, knows.

            Why? It’s an obvious scam, just report it to the admins and let them ban.

        Everybody knows by now, there’s it’s own community for it. It really doesn’t need to be posted here every day

      I too received this.

      Check your DMs. You’ll probably get one eventually.

      The question that remains is: what does she want?

      No, it’s a DM everyone on Lemmy is suddenly getting likely from a bot including myself although suspiciously only once.

        Actually, I got messages from them a few times before they became a meme. That account was on the feddit.rocks instance before getting banned.

        I’ve gotten it 3 times from 2 different accounts. The first account sent it to me twice on two separate days. Ironically from an account that I had replied to months before it spammed me.

        Then it sent me it again a few weeks later from a different account, same picture but different name.

        I’ve blocked both accounts so far, so they may have sent more and I just didn’t see the other attempts.
