It's creepy (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I looked at the screenshots and saw that some were not send by "Nicole#" but by the username "prodajvodapavel@aggregatet.org". A quick search for "prodajvodapavel" links to this Pinterest where some pictures are creepy.

The other result is this LinkedIn account. Under graduation, it's noted "Bachelor Computer and Information Sciences et support" at the "Petro Mohyla Black Sea National University" in Ukraine. It could match with someone building a bot.

Then, another search with the name of the university and nicole returns this facebook post with a picture. The text translated with Deepl says "On December 19, 2024, the winners of the “Interesting Science Online” competition of the “Step to Science” project were awarded at the premises of the Petro Mohyla Black Sea National University."

By translating "Nicole" in Ukrainian and searching after the university name and the translation, I found this picture on Facebook.

It looks like a revenge if the woman in the facebook images is Nicole. She looks like the Nicole in the spam. It's very creepy to do this.

It was always speculated that the images were stolen or used in some malicious way and not sent from an actual Nicole as it is treated in the lighter commentary when they show up. That's the bad part of the whole thing, otherwise it would be an amusing spam because of its predictability. At least they are normal pictures (webcam hacks I suppose) and haven't gotten worse for her.
