I've seen this bot here since January, and the fucking thing still doesn't let up.
Very tempted to change my display name to Fediverse Chick.

Hi, I'm Nicolas, but you can call me the TSAR OF THE GREAT RUSSIAN EMPIRE
Still like you more than Putin.
Enjoy everyone, we're living through fediverse history. This is our dancing baby (or maybe more like the "love you" worm).
Has anybody actually followed the links? I'm mildly curious where it goes.
Not Nigerian enough.
Instance checks out
Its started hitting the microblogging side of the fediverse.
"Listen. And understand. Nicole is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are phished!"
Is it a phishing attempt? I figured it was drive-by malware or camgirl spam or something
Last time this account made it's rounds, someone found a pic they'd posted of a buttplug with an old, bald white man clearly reflecting back off of the shiny parts. The account immediately deleted the photo after that user pointed it out.
That doesn't answer what their intentions are but they're obviously not good.
Is it weird that I feel less threatened by an old white man who owns a butt plug than one who doesn't?

After hearing about this for months, I have finally also been the recipient of them xD
I just find it most amusing that their room for chatting is "hell"
Ugh I know. Do I look like I'm after something like that? Stupid bots.
Wow so many people got it.
I got it, too, banned the sender, and deleted it as it was obviously a scam. But now that it seems to come back, what was it about, actually? Do they just want to harvest data, or what did they want?
Romance scammer, i'd assume.
So, the "I love you, send me money so I can come visit you" thing?
You can add me on Friendica
Well that's a huge red flag right there. Nobody uses Friendica.

There is always that vanishingly small chance this is a real person confused as to why nobody responds and their accounts keep getting banned. :-)
"Why doesn't anyone wanna be my friend? I've asked everyone... Asked them multiple times!"

Got a few myself! Looks like whoever is behind it keep registering on different instances.
Would be interesting to know why they do it
I'm afraid they're doing this to harass whoever's that girl in the picture
What is this, like, the opposite of occam's razor? The least likely, most esoteric possible explanation is the true one?

I still don't see any settings to block PMs on the mbin side. I would at least like to filter to people I follow or something with the option to fully disable PMs.
FFS got another one after posting this.

Who thought "you can call me fediverse chick" would work? Please tell me no one has fallen for this fucking thing.
I gives me "penguin of d00m" vibes

I wonder what this bot is trying to do. The friendica being just a weird profile, the discord just had a bunch of confused basement dwellers and I haven't seen any creepy links trying to rob us..
