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

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

[-] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 22 points 2 years ago

fleshy human vagina?

Both accurate and horrifying.

[-] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 17 points 2 years ago

This guy prefers his women sans flesh. Hmmm

[-] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 16 points 2 years ago

Beggars can’t be choosers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There are numbers before 34?

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 19 points 2 years ago

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

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

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

[-] Birch@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)
[-] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[-] Sergio@slrpnk.net 21 points 2 years ago

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

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Texas_Hangover@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

Why? Why respect the privacy of a spambot?

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Cyber@feddit.uk 12 points 2 years 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... 🤷🏼‍♂️

[-] towerful@programming.dev 7 points 2 years 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.

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 16 points 2 years ago

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

[-] insomniac_lemon@lemmy.cafe 11 points 2 years ago

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

[-] DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone 11 points 2 years 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 years ago

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

[-] flamingos@feddit.uk 10 points 2 years ago

Same. I thought what we had was special 😭

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Nnnnoooooo. Have you tried mailing her gift cards?

[-] Sergio@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 years ago

Awright, she made her first cut and I'm in! So far.

[-] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years ago

Can we get Elons and give if to em?

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 13 points 2 years ago

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

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 11 points 2 years 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!

[-] Skunk@jlai.lu 10 points 2 years ago

The French of jlailu received it as well today.

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

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago
[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

She must really like you

[-] madjo@feddit.nl 9 points 2 years ago

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

[-] ochi_chernye@startrek.website 9 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Hmmm. The spam bots are learning.

[-] MHLoppy@fedia.io 8 points 2 years 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

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I got this today, is this like a thing that's been going around for a while?

TIL there is a Toronto in Poland.

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