I hope this is resolved and, if this has stolen and repurposed photos of some person, the perpetrator is penalized.
This is hyper-fuckin-weird.
Nah I have another theory.
It’s not a scam but a lousy attempt to create the Fediverse ARG (alternate reality game).
But the poor creator keeps getting blocked 😞
She’s either autistic or the victim of some kind of obsessional person. Imagine a friendship or relationship ending and you use the photos and personal info you have to… Make the person a laughing stock? Ruin their reputation? Make them a cult weirdo? All without this person knowing. Or maybe the plan is for her to find out eventually? I think she looks eastern European.
This left me thinking. What if the person behind this actually has nudes of her, but is waiting for critical mass or even her identity to come up before extortion? She could be getting blackmailed already for all we know, “look, every day more and more people are getting familiar with your looks… Would be a shame if those nudes got leaked”
If it was a plan to ruin their reputation, why on lemmy where there are like 4 people?
Also how is this possibly ruining their reputation? it’s not sexually suggestive, links don’t work, and it’s plain obvious whoever is in the photo is also not the person sending the messages
Lack of censorship?
I was inclined to believe it could be a pig-butchering scam, but your theory is just as plausible. One of the reasons I’ll never post photos online.
Polish, perhaps?
Yes! Now you said it she looks very similar to a polish woman I know.
is her name Nicole? does she live in Toronto?
No, wrong name, she’s married and has lighter hair. Her facial features are very similar though, and I think unusual for england.
Seems like she got banned from her own discord server, it seems.
Feels more like cyberbullying rather than stalking.
Doxxing maybe. I censored the address because of that.
I finally got my first Nicole message. I think I’ve got a shot!
I’ve had DMs from Nicole40 and Nicole76 in the past 24 hours, and just plain Nicole about a week ago. What an oddity.
Bunch of random racists
This tracks
Can this just be Ai bot training
No.
Can we assume that the pics are from the twitch?
They feel more taken from a Zoom call, especially given how lower energy they are.
Yea, this looks like something from a laptop webcam. It could either be from multiple calls or possibly malware taking photos. But it has to happen over an extended period of time, since the clothes change inbetween some pictures.
I think she hasn’t streamed yet. Or just one time. There are too many pictures for just one stream.
