Who is Nicole really? Who got messages from Nicole? Who is behind the messages? What is the resolution of Nicole’s profile images? Do I really have to be a racist to join her server? This comment section’s purpose is to collect all that information.

Hey y’all, I know this theory might be a stretch, but remember that this could be someone using someone’s name/face without their permission to harass them or frame them or something. Please just keep that in mind as you dig.

It probably is, it looks like a frame grab from a webcam video.

With what appears to be a bong in shot. I can’t imagine someone using such an unflattering photo if they were using their own face.

Eh, it’s more than likely a pig-butchering scam.

The groups that do these are rather unsophisticated and mostly don’t speak english. It would make sense that their poor internet connections only have low quality photos and this is likely just one of many scams with equally-bad photos.

A decent quality photo isn’t that big, even over dialup you can send a better one.

I’ve had three, all identical messages, all from different usernames and accounts. I haven’t followed any of the links.

There is some variation in a college/university name:

  • George Brown College
  • Toronto Metropolitan University

Those all look like screenshots from a video call.

Everyone who got a Nicole message: Please get in touch here, you all might have something in common.

I suspect what we have in common is that we all use Lemmy or Mastodon

Of course, but people who aren’t active seem to get fewer spam. But they might just don’t post it, because they are inactive.

If the user isn’t active, the spammers have less chance 9f getting their username

I only got one after I mentioned somewhere that I hadn’t gotten one yet. It wasn’t immediately after, but close enough to make me suspicious.

I got one, and I saw it being referenced somewhere else on some post, so I decided to search Nicole and found this community and your message then. Any idea what this means? What’s going on haha

https://www.fortinos.ca/en/store-locator/details/0055 this seems to be the page for the store listed in the Matrix server description. The Matrix description really makes this seem like someone is doxxing her tbh.

I think is a funny meme and everything but I feel uncomfortable with people sharing her pictures. I doubt the real person on the pictures gave concent to this.
