I’ve seen this bot here since January, and the fucking thing still doesn’t let up.

    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”

    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’ve still somehow never gotten one, despite being on here for a while. (I hope this doesn’t jinx it lol)

      Hi, I’m Nicole! But you can call me the Fediverse Chick :D

      I’m a proud Polish girl from Toronto (29 y/o)

      I’m currently taking the pre-health sciences program at Toronto Metropolitan University hoping to get into the medical field someday!

    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

        How that possible? Looks like a random photo, or whatever.

        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.

      It’s like the misspellings in the phishing emails: it ensures only people who will fall for the trick will respond. If some model messaged you out of the blue, you’re more likely to be suspicious or you feel that you’re super attractive and a model might actually reach out to you. Either way you’re more likely to not bite on the bait.

        I’m not even talking about the beauty of the woman in the photo, I just mean it’s a blurry, poorly-lit photo that’s taken at a bad angle.

        I’m not saying she’s ugly or anything this is just a blurry, poorly-lit, poorly-angled photo with no character to it.

    You can add me on Friendica

    Well that’s a huge red flag right there. Nobody uses Friendica.

    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 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…

    “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!”
