Hi, I'm Nicole! But you can call me the Fediverse Chick :D

For when you or others get nicoled.

Who is Nicole really? Who got messages from Nicole? Who is behind the messages? What is the resolution of Nicole's profile images? Do I really have to be a racist to join her server? This comment section's purpose is to collect all that information.

https://www.fortinos.ca/en/store-locator/details/0055 this seems to be the page for the store listed in the Matrix server description. The Matrix description really makes this seem like someone is doxxing her tbh.

I think is a funny meme and everything but I feel uncomfortable with people sharing her pictures. I doubt the real person on the pictures gave concent to this.

Has anyone received any kind of response from Nicole? Or unsolicited contact from anyone, anywhere else after being Nicole'd?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hey y'all, I know this theory might be a stretch, but remember that this could be someone using someone's name/face without their permission to harass them or frame them or something. Please just keep that in mind as you dig.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 7 points 19 hours ago

It probably is, it looks like a frame grab from a webcam video.

With what appears to be a bong in shot. I can't imagine someone using such an unflattering photo if they were using their own face.

Topic from the Matrix room:

I work at ***, *** ** **, Woodbridge, ON L4L 1A7, Canada. Come say hi sometime!
I work in the *** section, so just ask for Nicole!

Does somebody live nearby?

So update, topic was removed.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 2 hours ago

This is creepy as hell.

[–] ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

This is textbook internet harassment if this is a real place someone works, this is not good.

[–] coldsideofyourpillow@lemmy.cafe 3 points 10 hours ago

Seems like the "scam" may be a harassment campaign?

[–] xnx@slrpnk.net 6 points 11 hours ago

She is most likely the victim of a stalker who’s trying to get her harassed and possibly fired

I got nicoled twice.

There is some variation in a college/university name:

  • George Brown College
  • Toronto Metropolitan University

Extra photos:

Those all look like screenshots from a video call.

[–] Dungrad@feddit.org 8 points 1 day ago

Maybe we can get rainbolt involved?

We all are Nicole on this blessed day.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

I've had three, all identical messages, all from different usernames and accounts. I haven't followed any of the links.

[–] Peter_Arbeitslos@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Everyone who got a Nicole message: Please get in touch here, you all might have something in common.

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 2 points 3 hours ago

I got one, and I saw it being referenced somewhere else on some post, so I decided to search Nicole and found this community and your message then. Any idea what this means? What's going on haha

[–] regrub@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I suspect what we have in common is that we all use Lemmy or Mastodon

[–] Syd@lemm.ee 3 points 12 hours ago

Woahhh, this checks out!

[–] Peter_Arbeitslos@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Of course, but people who aren't active seem to get fewer spam. But they might just don't post it, because they are inactive.

i got a message yesterday, and havent been very active for a few weeks now

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 11 hours ago

If the user isn't active, the spammers have less chance 9f getting their username

[–] Dungrad@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago

Nice try Zuckerberg

[–] rarWars@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I only got one after I mentioned somewhere that I hadn't gotten one yet. It wasn't immediately after, but close enough to make me suspicious.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What user was it from and when?

[–] Peter_Arbeitslos@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] Peter_Arbeitslos@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago

Which both don't exist anymore.
