Comment on What is the point of the Nicole spam?

Corno@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

I’ve received 3 Nicole messages since I’ve been on here, each one with a different photo. I ran the photos through TinEye and Google Reverse Image Search but I found no exact matches. The photos are blurry somewhat, which implies that they are shots taken from a video, which is a method catfishers have used to evade detection.

I’ve also read that someone looked into one of the Nicole accounts, and on that account there was a photo of something shiny, and there was clearly a reflection of an old white man reflecting off the object. Once that was pointed out, the owner of the account deleted their account. So whatever the intentions are, I’m sure it’s nothing good.

I’m guessing it’s a pig butchering scam of some kind. The messages advertise other platforms, along with a Discord server that is named “hell”. The aim is to lull a person into a false sense of security via catfishing and pretending to be the victim’s friend or lover, and then pull a scam on them.
