Hello all! I’m Rose. Also a Fediverse chick. Unlike Nicole I don’t spam people. Also I’m not on Friendica (not many people are) and you probably shouldn’t add me as a friend on any Fedi platform because I’m a hella boring nerd.
What kinda nerd?
Has anyone had a chat with her?
She’s like our Myspace Tom
Incels. Incels are falling for that crap.
We’re engaged. Will be getting married as soon as my deposit check for half the expenses clears.
What a coincidence! I’m the fediverse dude!
Srv guys
It was me all along
I’m a hot Toronto girl who just wants your money.
One of the giveaways for me was the complete ignorance of the Canadian post-secondary system.
She said that she’s taking pre-health sciences at George Brown College. College in Canada means community college (which George Brown is). You take a course, typically 1-3 years, with a specific goal in mind.
Also, Canadian universities do not offer pre-med or pre-health sciences tracks. You get a degree in chemistry, biology, or whatever, and apply for med school irrespective of the program you are in. One of my classmates was accepted into medical school straight out of chemical engineering. Someone else I know was finishing a degree in Spanish literature when he was accepted into medical school.
I tried messaging back and she never replied :(
Joke’s on you, I got myself a new friend 😌
me :3 I’ve fallen hard
I’m lonely, OK?
Stupid question maybe but what’s the goal of this scam? The URLs seem safe, is the goal to convince us to send money to her?
It’s almost certainly a pig butchering scam
be wary of any man who has a pig farm.
eh bricktop?
Might be just someone wanting to highlight an architecture issue that allows someone to spam everyone.
I had seen posts like this circulating before so I tried to track them down:

Some of these posts suggest they are using the pictures of someone else on purpose. Some say they’re a bot. I personally haven’t gotten these messages but I don’t get DM’s so that’s probably why. I’m pretty positive this is some kind of Honeypot scam. Either way I wouldn’t trust it.
I’ve gotten 3 or 4 separate PMs from different alts of this account (same username but different instances) over at least a month now.
I just got one today. My lemmy client couldn’t even delete it or read it’s notification. Kinda hoping thats a bug if this is going to be a thing
It seemed pretty out of left field. Like, okay… I’m not clicking on any of that. No explanation of why someone would message me this and as I expected, it seems to have been some sort of widespread spam.
I’m pretty sure Joe does.
No, I don’t
Not you Joe, dat other Joe!
Fine, I’ll play along
Joe who?
Joe Mama! XD
