Should I give her my CC number to keep her company?
Someday am actual human woman is going to approach me and start talking and I’m going to assume she’s a bot
Hello fellow human, would you like to see my fleshy human vagina?
fleshy human vagina?
Both accurate and horrifying.
This guy prefers his women sans flesh. Hmmm
Beggars can’t be choosers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So real talk, what exactly is the angle here? Are these rogue instances in the links? Truly just trying to bait in the lonely and gullible to eventually solicit payment down the line?
It just seems … weird for a romance bait scam. Average looking woman (though could be to lower guards), links to Fediverse service profiles rather than botted DM exchanges, etc.
I could just be being naive, but idk. There’s a very particular brand of fishy to this, beyond the obvious. The other probable scammer I dealt with at least came with a sob story that I could see being more effective (end of his rope humanitarian worker in an African country, children dying due to lack of $ for the program).
I watched the stream, it was just a very long looped video of the girl in the photo, looked the same one day later. It seems like it’s been deleted today. The Friendica profile also nothing extraordinary. I guess the scam should be on the chat, it required one more click after opening the site, and I never heard of this stumblechat, so I didn’t bother. After some searching I can’t find a lot info on this Stumblechat, it definitely has nothing to do with the fediverse.
I can’t believe that my own copy of this spam is how I found out that we have lemmy <-> mbin dms working now lmao
I got my dm from the bot just a bit ago! I feel all loved now :)
Same, feels like I matter
Got mine as well. Glad to see I’m not alone on the bot list of targets.
awww, we got our own community chic? she’s everyone’s girlfriend now, also, 45 y.o. and a man
Rule 30.
There are numbers before 34?
You wouldn’t be the first person to skip straight to the porn.
Please add it to the sidebar, you can’t be enforcing hidden rules!
The Rules of the Internet are not hidden.
I just another one today!
Just got another one 2 hours ago!
This shows that lemmy is a mature social media now! It has its own OF bots!
TIL there is a Toronto in Poland.
She is Polish, possibly from Poland, and now lives in Toronto Canada. Is how I understand it.
Why would you catfish with the fugliest chick?
Plausibility? If the photo like a model or something, everyone would know something’s up. But if it’s of an average-looking woman, you can imagine it’s some awkward nerd chick who might well share your nerdy interests.
That looks like a dude in a wig lol
And you probably look like the wow player in south park
Yeah but I’m not using my fugly pic to catfish people lol
Yes ok but you don’t need to be doing their job for them. Blur that shit.
Why? Why respect the privacy of a spambot?
It’s not about respecting the privacy of a spambot. it’s about doing their job for them. The bot wants their links and their advert to be seen by as many eyeballs as possible. Guess what the OP just achieved? Blur all links next time.
I disagree.
Saying “this is a scam” with the links visible is more transparent. If the scam changes but the links are similar, it will hopefully raise a red flag for someone.Blurring them does nothing other than obfuscating the details of the scam.
Shine light onto the darkness and document it.
