I saw some disturbing pics of someone posing as Nicole. Reported it for gore, spam, Nicole.
I assumed it was something like a pig butchering crypto scam.
Damn, I never thought about it this way. Wow. I always took it as a funny thing not thinking of the person in the photo being an actual person who could very well be harassed. Thank you for bringing this to light. Whoever thought of this is a good human being. <3
About damn time. The joke has run it's course a long time a ago and if these posts are victimizing an individual they most definitely need to be stopped.
I broke up with her for this reason.
She ghosted me. Never replied to any attempts at communication. I'm done.
I do not understand any of this.
TLDR; Scammer/creep is using a woman's photos, possibly stolen from a webcam hack, and her social media links to privately message people.
People were getting private messages with a few links and a picture from someone claiming to be Nicole the Fediverse Chick.
Of course this becomes a meme and spreads as people talk about it.
It gets weird because there's multiple different pictures. 1 or 2 stolen pic online, that's expected for these types of scam. But there's a whole collection of them out there. Its suspected to be pulled from a live stream or a hacked webcam.
Like usual, the chance that the woman in the picture is actually Nicole sending messages is pretty low. Having her image and links shared to randos online makes an easy target for a lot of people to harass her.
.world admins are saying no more. All references to "Nicole" will be purged.
For a long time someone has been spamming Lemmy users with a private message including a picture introducing herself as the "fediverse chick" and plugging socials
But what if that's not the person at all
smae
Echoing everyone else in that it seemed kind of funny at first but that it has just turned weirder.
I think it's a good call. I will report if I receive any messages.
