First Mastodon, now Lemmy

Hi, I'm The Fediverse Chick, and I've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty!

Hi! I'm the Fediverse Chick, I've been trying to reach you about a Nigerian prince heritage.

The real joke for me is lemmy being so starved of content a meme is cast of the first big spam message and people are irritatedly commenting that they haven't gotten it yet

You got any more of them memes?

Shakes with withdrawal

Hey man, come on. Don't hold out!
The beans where huge too back then
- I need to not poop for three days.
- I was there when Lemmy had beans

I finally got hit today, was feeling left out of the fun.

I've been hit so many times I should have a purple heart. This screenshot is akin to a NK general showing off his stripes.
- I’ve got that same collection and I’m actually excitedly waiting for the red blouse message.
- That's wild, I only got hit once months ago. She must really have the hots for you.*wink wink *nudge nudge
- I think she only contacted me thrice. Now I'm sad, I think she doesn't really love me.
Oh hey, I got her today as well! I guess she's expanding the reach
Same! I was starting to think I was doing Lemmy wrong or something
Now if I can only figure out how to get Lemmy to let me delete the damned thing…
I have not gotten hit.
Me as well, what am I supposed to do with this now?

What did I miss?

A bot that messages you, for like fake hookups and stuff. I got another one this morning. It says She's polish studying in Toronto:D I forgot her name though.
- Her Name's Nicole.
there's spam bots trying to get people to be like "oh a sexy jewish nerd from poland is into me? lemme yeah send her some money"
- Have they made her Jewish now?
- I don't find her sexy (I'm straight) and it seems like a guess at best that she's Jewish.

Can someone explain?

I can't explain, no, because I don't understand the motivation behind it.

But someone (likely a bot) has been spamming messages, allegedly from the person depicted, as "the Fediverse chick." I got my first one this morning. It arrived within sixty seconds of me making a post, so I have to guess it's targeting more active users. If you're a frequent commenter, you'll probably get one eventually, too.
- I’m more of a lurker so I guess I’m invisible lol
- I almost never comment so this is a test.
- Last week I got two in about an one hour time span I think, but they came from different accounts.
So you are the unfound one, I see
The first spammer of the fediverse.
You'll find someone special for you one day 🙏

Plot twist: Shes just a lonely person stationed somewhere far away from civilization trying desperately to make friends and find love online.

Who isn't?
She's in Vancouver.
- Mine is in Toronto, but originally from Poland
Imagine if it's just actually her pulling the most epic troll in Lemmy history.

Does anyone know who this person actually is? Shouldn't we try to tell them this is happening?

I think she is the Fediverse chick

Today I finally received one, I’m worthy enough to be targeted by a bot.

She was probably afraid to fall in love herself because she really likes trains as well.

I texted back "Just send me the virus link", but did not get a response 🙁

Ah she's on mastodon too?! Hahaha. Nicole will go down in fediverse history and I love it.

Hah. I just got my first one today. I immediately chalked it up to spam, but didn't know it was so widespread. Hilarious.

As did I just a few minutes ago. I feel so special!

Did anybody ever go as far as to click a link and see what kind of virus it was?

The most famous woman on Lemmy.

The ~~most famous~~ woman on Lemmy.
And she doesn't even know it

Just checking in

Got the same message today as well

I just checked my messages and there she is 🥲 I feel both seen and seen through, as though this is what it feels like when doves cry 🥲

and her bong

I still haven't been hit:(

Me neither

I got mine today

I have two of the old ones. Waiting excitedly for the new one.

This is a really rare picture of her. Amazing.

Rare pepe? No, rare fediverse chick.
Rare Fediverse Chick 😱

Has anyone actually joined that discord? I'm curious what's on it but I'm sure as hell not joining it myself

I love the fediverse chick

Woah back off pardner, she's mine!

her?

@Veedem 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Got pinged by the spammer earlier today on Mastodon. Nothing on Lemmy yet.

She's evolving

I've got three of these messages at this point

I wonder where the image used originates from. Makes me think of someone's webcam getting hacked and they're just doing normal things unknowingly while getting pictures taken of them.

Got me this morning

I saw it twice months ago, and then never again.

It spammed me twice, but I've blocked her and reported her.

I got my first one at last. I'm in the cool kids' club now.
