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 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

fleshy human vagina?

Both accurate and horrifying.

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This guy prefers his women sans flesh. Hmmm

[–] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 15 points 1 year ago

Beggars can’t be choosers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There are numbers before 34?

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 19 points 1 year ago

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

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

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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)
[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year 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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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).

[–] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago

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 1 year ago (1 children)

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 1 year 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 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why? Why respect the privacy of a spambot?

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 year 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.

[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 12 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 11 points 1 year 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!

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

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

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

Same. I thought what we had was special 😭

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

Nnnnoooooo. Have you tried mailing her gift cards?

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone 11 points 1 year ago

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

[–] insomniac_lemon@lemmy.cafe 11 points 1 year 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.

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

Can we get Elons and give if to em?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 13 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Skunk@jlai.lu 10 points 1 year ago

The French of jlailu received it as well today.

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

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 9 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

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

Hmmm. The spam bots are learning.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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