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.
Is someone falling for this crap?

How do I send money to you?

Sheesh, at least buy them a drink or something first, you don’t have to jump straight to brass tax

I am interested.

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)

What kinda nerd?
Kissaki@feddit.org 4 weeks ago
I feel like hella boring and nerd are mutually exclusive

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

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.
Oisteink@feddit.nl 4 weeks 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.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 weeks ago
I don’t think there is a million people here
RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 4 weeks ago
Then you have to try multiple times per person, easy.

Seriously, y’all need to stop doing the spammers work for them by reposting it
tomcatt360@lemmy.zip 4 weeks ago
How are we supposed to be aware of the potential scams if they don’t post it though?
db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 weeks 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

Incels. Incels are falling for that crap.

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 4 weeks ago
It’s almost certainly a pig butchering scam

be wary of any man who has a pig farm.

Might be just someone wanting to highlight an architecture issue that allows someone to spam everyone.

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.

Maybe try again? I received at least six from them. Maybe that’s how is supposed to be. /s

I cashapp sent her my life savings. She’s going to wire me back 10x that amount any minute now.

Only in porn.

nope, if that porn is on the internet those are MEN and that porn is GAY 🌈
zeppo@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
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.

I’ve gotten 3 or 4 separate PMs from different alts of this account (same username but different instances) over at least a month now.

I just got one today. My lemmy client couldn’t even delete it or read it’s notification. Kinda hoping thats a bug if this is going to be a thing

I’ve had 3 or 4 already of this exact msg.

Remarkably pedestrian photo for a scam. And 29yo seems old for a fantasy girl too.
I guess they understand that it’s older guys who have the money, and even those guys know they’ll never make it with an 18yo.
meekah@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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

InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks ago
If you think about it: have you ever gotten a picture of the spammer itself in an spam message
CmdrShepard42@lemm.ee 4 weeks 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?
Danitos@reddthat.com 4 weeks ago
If you click ln the socials she shares, she is active there and seems to match the profile picture with the content she uploads.
