I’ve seen this bot here since January, and the fucking thing still doesn’t let up.
Hi, I’m Nicolas, but you can call me the TSAR OF THE GREAT RUSSIAN EMPIRE
Its started hitting the microblogging side of the fediverse.
Wow so many people got it.
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?
Romance scammer, i’d assume.
So, the “I love you, send me money so I can come visit you” thing?
Me neither. We’re so unlovable, even the bots stay away!
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
What is this, like, the opposite of occam’s razor? The least likely, most esoteric possible explanation is the true one?
How that possible? Looks like a random photo, or whatever.
I want to do a deeper investigation to find who is behind it
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.
Could also be a harassment campaign.
Well, yeah. Sad.
“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!”
Get ready to be “pig butchered”.
Pig butchered? I’m already halfway there!
Is it a phishing attempt? I figured it was drive-by malware or camgirl spam or something
Last time this account made it’s rounds, someone found a pic they’d posted of a buttplug with an old, bald white man clearly reflecting back off of the shiny parts. The account immediately deleted the photo after that user pointed it out.
That doesn’t answer what their intentions are but they’re obviously not good.
Is it weird that I feel less threatened by an old white man who owns a butt plug than one who doesn’t?
I don’t actually know, but I had to finish the quote with something snappy.
Creative liberties?? On my communist Linux forum??? Completely understandable, have a nice day
You can add me on Friendica
Well that’s a huge red flag right there. Nobody uses Friendica.
@sunshine@lemmy.ca is annoyed at you now.
I really do like the project!
Same! Honestly one of my favourite fediverse softwares.
i actually made an account a few weeks back just to take a look at it

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!

Lol, I got mine yesterday. I’d always felt sooooo left out.
Got one too. What’s funny is this is not even a good photo.
looks taken from a video. my guess is it’s a random girl who they stole it from.
I think you mean woman
A lot of people use girl and woman interchangeably without meaning it to be demeaning at all.
I’ve seen women here state that they find it offensive. It is dehumanizing and should be avoided.
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.
you say they misspell on purpose?
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.
Maybe that’s to make it seem more “real”? I’m not sure.
That’s kinda rude. Presumably they stole the profile picture from some uninvolved person.
I’m not saying she’s ugly or anything this is just a blurry, poorly-lit, poorly-angled photo with no character to it.
There is always that vanishingly small chance this is a real person confused as to why nobody responds and their accounts keep getting banned. :-)
Someone who truly just wants to make new friends! Nooooo
That must be why missy29 now goes by nicole.
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…
