I've seen this bot here since January, and the fucking thing still doesn't let up.
"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.
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
There is always that vanishingly small chance this is a real person confused as to why nobody responds and their accounts keep getting banned. :-)
Someone who truly just wants to make new friends! Nooooo
That must be why missy29 now goes by nicole.
I still don't see any settings to block PMs on the mbin side. I would at least like to filter to people I follow or something with the option to fully disable PMs.
FFS got another one after posting this.
I blocked the whole instance the account is on, but tbh I don't know what good that does.
Unfortunately, nothing. Always comes from different instances for me. Whack-a-mole
You'd doubt the Fediverse Chick‽
Assuming all of you are 35-55 year old obese guys with beards living in your parents' basement kept me safe as a teen and I'm sticking with it now too.
I've blocked like five of their accounts. I wish there was a setting that would block PMs/chats. Anyone who wants to talk to me can do it in public.
CAN YOU PLEASE SEND VEGINE PIC
Here you go! :
It's so hot, imgur is at capacity and only returns json
I was expecting an a magic lamp with a broccoli-shaped genie or something.
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.
Who thought "you can call me fediverse chick" would work? Please tell me no one has fallen for this fucking thing.
I clicked on her video stream months ago when I saw it. It's a real person. She was just typing into a computer, smoking a cigerette. Then I got bored and closed out of it.
I gives me "penguin of d00m" vibes
Its started hitting the microblogging side of the fediverse.
I wonder what this bot is trying to do. The friendica being just a weird profile, the discord just had a bunch of confused basement dwellers and I haven't seen any creepy links trying to rob us..
I got only one, but I didn't block it so we'll see.
It's a shame people can't just seek out friends at random for real, but in this day and age it's obviously a scam.
Granted, Lemmy people... idk, I guess a Lemmy friend is the kind you dm when you accidentally break your Linux. Or idk, discuss Marxism? Lol
Blocking doesn't work since they create new accounts on bunch of different Lemmy instances every time.
I reported this bot twice.
I've gotten 4 or 5 messages from this bot, also since about january.
I've only ever received one from them. One of the fediverse's flaws is no central blacklist so if your instance isn't moderated well and actively you're gonna have a bad time.
I think I remember them talking about tools and lists to share between instances but idk what the progress is on that or who was in charge of 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?
I could swear the photos were different for me, but yes I also got the "friend request"
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's the purpose of such a message?
Almost all of these turn into attempts to get the target to buy into some crypto scam or other.
It's not meant to catch people who are moderately aware, it's meant to catch the stupid, ignorant, and easy to manipulate. Being an obvious scam is part of the utility - it saves time by naturally filtering out anyone who is too aware to actually give them any money.
Blocking doesn't work sadly
5 msgs per day
I "finally" got one as well.
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"
Yeah I wish this bot would fuck off for good.
Hi, I'm Nicolas, but you can call me the TSAR OF THE GREAT RUSSIAN EMPIRE
Ugh I know. Do I look like I'm after something like that? Stupid bots.
Wow so many people got it.
