How are we supposed to be aware of the potential scams if they don’t post it though?
db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 hour ago
If that’s the reason, one can blur out the links and shit. But this is fairly obvious, and also it’s all over lemmy constantly giving free advertisement to the spammer

People, stop it, she already promised to marry me once the bitcoin transfer is received.

Hello all! I’m Rose. Also a Fediverse chick. Unlike Nicole I don’t spam people. Also I’m not on Friendica (not many people are) and you probably shouldn’t add me as a friend on any Fedi platform because I’m a hella boring nerd.

Hi! I’m John, but you can call me the fediverse dude. Unlike nicole and Rose, I don’t claim to be someone i’m not! Please add me on all platforms, I crave attention!
(Sorry Rose, I need this)

My uninformed guess is the person posting this is NOT the person in the picture.
Most likely, it’s some weirdo’s bizarre roundabout way of harassing whoever’s picture this is.possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 17 hours ago
That’s a totally different angle and I hate it. You need to be a special kind of jerk to post someone else’s picture in a spam message.
shrugs@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
If you think about it: have you ever gotten a picture of the spammer itself in an spam message
CmdrShepard42@lemm.ee 14 hours ago
This makes sense to me because why else would they keep creating the same exact account on every instance and sending the exact same message?

If you click ln the socials she shares, she is active there and seems to match the profile picture with the content she uploads.

When the cost to try something is virtually zero, you don’t have to try very hard. If only one in ten thousand people will fall for a scam, then millions of attempts will still get you thousands of successes.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 17 hours ago
I don’t think there is a million people here
RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 16 hours ago
Then you have to try multiple times per person, easy.
Oisteink@feddit.nl 19 hours ago
Theres no millions to message though. Some of the accounts are the same people, just jumping servers to fine one that works for them.

Stupid question maybe but what’s the goal of this scam? The URLs seem safe, is the goal to convince us to send money to her?
RonnyZittledong@lemmy.world 20 hours ago
It’s almost certainly a pig butchering scam

One of the giveaways for me was the complete ignorance of the Canadian post-secondary system.
She said that she’s taking pre-health sciences at George Brown College. College in Canada means community college. You take a course, typically 1-3 years, with a specific goal in mind.
Also, Canadian universities do not offer pre-med or pre-health sciences tracks. You get a degree in chemistry, biology, or whatever, and apply for med school irrespective of the program you are in. One of my classmates was accepted into medical school straight out of chemical engineering. Someone else I know was finishing a degree in Spanish literature when he was accepted into medical school.

I got this m3ssage yesterday and checked out the matrix server. It was a bunch of anime profiles spewing racist nonsense. Reminded me of 4chan with the vibes. Not for me.
MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com 2 hours ago
Can I ask why you bothered to check it out? Doesn’t that just encourage this behavior? If no one clicked the links people wouldn’t do this.
meekah@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
Yeah, fair point. In retrospect I don’t really know why I checked it out. I guess my curiosity got the better of me

It seemed pretty out of left field. Like, okay… I’m not clicking on any of that. No explanation of why someone would message me this and as I expected, it seems to have been some sort of widespread spam.

I had seen posts like this circulating before so I tried to track them down:
Some of these posts suggest they are using the pictures of someone else on purpose. Some say they’re a bot. I personally haven’t gotten these messages but I don’t get DM’s so that’s probably why. I’m pretty positive this is some kind of Honeypot scam. Either way I would trust it.
