I've seen this bot here since January, and the fucking thing still doesn't let up.

"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!"

[–] TanteRegenbogen@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago

Catphished?

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 30 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Is it a phishing attempt? I figured it was drive-by malware or camgirl spam or something

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 37 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] PumaStoleMyBluff@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Is it weird that I feel less threatened by an old white man who owns a butt plug than one who doesn't?

Its started hitting the microblogging side of the fediverse.

Hi, I'm Nicolas, but you can call me the TSAR OF THE GREAT RUSSIAN EMPIRE

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 days ago

Still like you more than Putin.

[–] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 55 points 5 days ago (4 children)

There is always that vanishingly small chance this is a real person confused as to why nobody responds and their accounts keep getting banned. :-)

Very tempted to change my display name to Fediverse Chick.

[–] umbraroze@lemmy.world 26 points 5 days ago (3 children)

You can add me on Friendica

Well that's a huge red flag right there. Nobody uses Friendica.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 16 points 5 days ago (1 children)

@sunshine@lemmy.ca is annoyed at you now.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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"

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 33 points 5 days ago (4 children)

I still don't see any settings to block PMs on the mbin side. I would at least like to filter to people I follow or something with the option to fully disable PMs.

FFS got another one after posting this.

Who thought "you can call me fediverse chick" would work? Please tell me no one has fallen for this fucking thing.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 18 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I clicked on her video stream months ago when I saw it. It's a real person. She was just typing into a computer, smoking a cigerette. Then I got bored and closed out of it.

You'd doubt the Fediverse Chick‽

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 18 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Assuming all of you are 35-55 year old obese guys with beards living in your parents' basement kept me safe as a teen and I'm sticking with it now too.

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?

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Romance scammer, i'd assume.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

So, the "I love you, send me money so I can come visit you" thing?

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 25 points 5 days ago (3 children)

I've blocked like five of their accounts. I wish there was a setting that would block PMs/chats. Anyone who wants to talk to me can do it in public.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 24 points 5 days ago (2 children)

CAN YOU PLEASE SEND VEGINE PIC

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..

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 12 points 5 days ago (7 children)

Got a few myself! Looks like whoever is behind it keep registering on different instances.

Would be interesting to know why they do it

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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?

Ugh I know. Do I look like I'm after something like that? Stupid bots.

Wow so many people got it.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago (3 children)

I got only one, but I didn't block it so we'll see.

It's a shame people can't just seek out friends at random for real, but in this day and age it's obviously a scam.

Granted, Lemmy people... idk, I guess a Lemmy friend is the kind you dm when you accidentally break your Linux. Or idk, discuss Marxism? Lol

I've only ever received one from them. One of the fediverse's flaws is no central blacklist so if your instance isn't moderated well and actively you're gonna have a bad time.

I think I remember them talking about tools and lists to share between instances but idk what the progress is on that or who was in charge of it.

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 5 days ago

I reported this bot twice.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Enjoy everyone, we're living through fediverse history. This is our dancing baby (or maybe more like the "love you" worm).

Has anybody actually followed the links? I'm mildly curious where it goes.

[–] TanteRegenbogen@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago

I am curious too. We should investigate.
