now im kinda concerned that i haven't got a spambot message on fedi yet, when i have on every other platform.

guess im doing something wrong or not posting enough or something.

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

She just sent me a third DM. This one had a different picture! She's obviously really into me.

[–] wisely@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I just got a second one from the Fediverse Chick. Sad guess she isn't that into me.

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 day ago

Well it's like they say: Once you go Sergio.... uh... everyone else is incognito.

[–] Skunk@jlai.lu 8 points 1 day ago

The French of jlailu received it as well today.

We felt without l’amour, but now we have it back hon hon hon.

[–] ochi_chernye@startrek.website 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I felt left out, but I just got one. Hilarious.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Hmmm. The spam bots are learning.

[–] MHLoppy@fedia.io 6 points 1 day ago

I can't believe that my own copy of this spam is how I found out that we have lemmy <-> mbin dms working now lmao

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

TIL there is a Toronto in Poland.

She is Polish, possibly from Poland, and now lives in Toronto Canada. Is how I understand it.

So real talk, what exactly is the angle here? Are these rogue instances in the links? Truly just trying to bait in the lonely and gullible to eventually solicit payment down the line?

It just seems ... weird for a romance bait scam. Average looking woman (though could be to lower guards), links to Fediverse service profiles rather than botted DM exchanges, etc.

I could just be being naive, but idk. There's a very particular brand of fishy to this, beyond the obvious. The other probable scammer I dealt with at least came with a sob story that I could see being more effective (end of his rope humanitarian worker in an African country, children dying due to lack of $ for the program).

I watched the stream, it was just a very long looped video of the girl in the photo, looked the same one day later. It seems like it's been deleted today. The Friendica profile also nothing extraordinary. I guess the scam should be on the chat, it required one more click after opening the site, and I never heard of this stumblechat, so I didn't bother. After some searching I can't find a lot info on this Stumblechat, it definitely has nothing to do with the fediverse.

Someday am actual human woman is going to approach me and start talking and I'm going to assume she's a bot

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 36 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Hello fellow human, would you like to see my fleshy human vagina?

[–] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

fleshy human vagina?

Both accurate and horrifying.

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This guy prefers his women sans flesh. Hmmm

[–] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 15 points 2 days ago

Beggars can’t be choosers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes ok but you don't need to be doing their job for them. Blur that shit.

[–] Texas_Hangover@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why? Why respect the privacy of a spambot?

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It's not about respecting the privacy of a spambot. it's about doing their job for them. The bot wants their links and their advert to be seen by as many eyeballs as possible. Guess what the OP just achieved? Blur all links next time.

[–] towerful@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago

I disagree.
Saying "this is a scam" with the links visible is more transparent. If the scam changes but the links are similar, it will hopefully raise a red flag for someone.

Blurring them does nothing other than obfuscating the details of the scam.
Shine light onto the darkness and document it.

[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 12 points 2 days ago

I'm kinda on the fence... yeah ditch any actual links, etc, but with a title like that to this post, it's kinda showing familiarity AND the bait warning. So... 🤷🏼‍♂️

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I got my dm from the bot just a bit ago! I feel all loved now :)

[–] Birch@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)
[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

Got mine as well. Glad to see I'm not alone on the bot list of targets.

[–] Maiq@lemy.lol 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I actually have ~~two~~ three messages from the scammer. Both the exact same text from different accounts. Both reported.

Just got a new one from nicole@feddit.rocks

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

All she does is stare into the screen for 3 hours

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

awww, we got our own community chic? she's everyone's girlfriend now, also, 45 y.o. and a man

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)
[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There are numbers before 34?

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 17 points 2 days ago

You wouldn't be the first person to skip straight to the porn.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Please add it to the sidebar, you can't be enforcing hidden rules!

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The Rules of the Internet are not hidden.

[–] scott@loves.tech 21 points 2 days ago

Rules of the internet:

  1. There are no real rules about posting.
  2. There are no real rules about moderation either - enjoy your ban.
[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This shows that lemmy is a mature social media now! It has its own OF bots!

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

there a fediverse equivalent of OF? 👀

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

The googly eyes make this post.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 9 points 2 days ago

Finally! female attention! I should get out of this basement more often.

[–] DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone 11 points 2 days ago

I got this today, I looked at it but it hasn't vanished from my messages list. Bloody annoying.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I didn't get a message this time, I think we broke up :'(

[–] flamingos@feddit.uk 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Same. I thought what we had was special 😭

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nnnnoooooo. Have you tried mailing her gift cards?

I looked at this thread and then my notifications. It was there but hadn't notified me yet, said 23 seconds ago. Weird timing.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 11 points 2 days ago

Yes, please do. Just make sure to send her the "correct" one, or it might be bad for her if she got the "wrong" one, whoopsie!

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Can we get Elons and give if to em?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 13 points 2 days ago

If I had Elon's cc# I wouldn't need to give it out to scammers to empty that shit.
