Hi, I'm Nicolas, but you can call me the TSAR OF THE GREAT RUSSIAN EMPIRE
Still like you more than Putin.
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"
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?
Or, **I love you, send me naked pictures and I'll send you naked pictures and then "my father" will find out and contact you to extort money from you for sending and receiving underaged porn images and if you don't send money they'll report you to the police. **
Very tempted to change my display name to Fediverse Chick.
Not Nigerian enough.
Instance checks out
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?

Ugh I know. Do I look like I'm after something like that? Stupid bots.
Wow so many people got it.
I've only ever received one from them. One of the fediverse's flaws is no central blacklist so if your instance isn't moderated well and actively you're gonna have a bad time.
I think I remember them talking about tools and lists to share between instances but idk what the progress is on that or who was in charge of it.
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.
I am curious too. We should investigate.
Amazing. Like OP, I've lost count.
Me neither. We're so unlovable, even the bots stay away!
Got one too. What's funny is this is not even a good photo.
looks taken from a video. my guess is it's a random girl who they stole it from.

It's like the misspellings in the phishing emails: it ensures only people who will fall for the trick will respond. If some model messaged you out of the blue, you're more likely to be suspicious or you feel that you're super attractive and a model might actually reach out to you. Either way you're more likely to not bite on the bait.
I'm not even talking about the beauty of the woman in the photo, I just mean it's a blurry, poorly-lit photo that's taken at a bad angle.

Would it be wrong to send it dick pics?
Morally? No. From the perspective of nothing on the internet is ever deleted? Yes. People who get duped into sending nudes will often find (I mean, IF they ever find, realistically, seeing how big the internet it) their picture being used by someone else for another duping operation.

I've still somehow never gotten one, despite being on here for a while. (I hope this doesn't jinx it lol)
