I’m lonely, OK?
I’ve gotten this message on my mastodon account twice, from different instances/accounts. Blocked them all.
Joke’s on you, I got myself a new friend 😌
Has anyone followed the links to see what the deal is?
I tried messaging back and she never replied :(
Maybe try again? I received at least six from them. Maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be. /s
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 wouldn’t trust it.
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
You can’t escape Nicole
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.
Srv guys
It was me all along
I’m a hot Toronto girl who just wants your money.
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 (which George Brown is). 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.
What a coincidence! I’m the fediverse dude!
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.
I feel like hella boring and nerd are mutually exclusive
Depends if you’re into each particular nerd’s special interest(s)
What kinda 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)
added!
Now we’re talking!
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.
Seriously, y’all need to stop doing the spammers work for them by reposting it
Don’t dog on my girl Nicole ahahaha
How are we supposed to be aware of the potential scams if they don’t post it though?
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
I’m pretty sure Joe does.
No, I don’t
Not you Joe, dat other Joe!
Fine, I’ll play along
Joe who?
Joe Mama! XD
Joe mama who?
Hi im the fediverse money please!
me :3 I’ve fallen hard
I fell for her pretty hard, I don’t even mind that we all share but I get Saturday nights.
What would it mean to fall for it?
Are the links themselves dangerous?
