Hi, I'm Nicole! But you can call me the Fediverse Chick :D
For when you or others get nicoled.

oh no! What a shocking development. I hope everyone quickly sends The Fediverse Chick all of their money, so that she might be able to pay her tuition. It's sad that she has unexpectedly fallen on hard times, but I'm sure if every one of us donates every last bit of money they have, things will be really great! /s
I already sent all of my bitcoin to her. I hope she's okay.
So did I. I didn't have any though.
I suggest to message the instance admins & everyone who facilitates the blocking efforts, telling them the BTC / LTC addresses, so that they can quicly set up corresponding filters.

Also, surely there's a way to notify admins without having to ping all of them?
Thanks for the reports, they've been dealt with
Thanks for the ping. dbzer0 hasn't federated with this community properly so i have to use my alt. I've stepped it up and have started deleting everything that has the words "fediverse chick". I knew this will happen eventually. I'm going to talk to db0 about enabling the SQL method, and purge each and every single message from her.
Yeah you can make a report, it'll go to mod of community, admin of your instance and admin of poster instance. For messages there's no community so it only goes to admins. You can also pester them on matrix
still basically the same as pinging them
in fact, its more work on my part because I have to recount everything.
congrats on predicting it
But is that the “real” Nicole, or a metascammer trying to piggyback on the scam?
It is the official admin on the official Matrix
Probably a copycat.
What is the full username?
It is the official account from the Matrix.
Official Nicole lore just dropped
Alright, I can confirm now.
Source of that message (wallets hidden):
{
"content": {
"body": "Hi everyone! Fediverse chick here. I’m in dire need of more money for my tuition! Please help me by donating anything you can to these bitcoin and litecoin addresses.\nBTC: XXX\nLTC: YYY\nThank you very much!",

Nicole isn't real, but let's assume she is.
At age 29 and living in Canada where college is comparatively cheap, she can get a job or take out student loans. I have a couple of Canadian friends, and they've described the school situation like this:
- If you're an international student, it's as bad as over here in the US.
- If you're going to a prestigious university, it's still less than $10k CAD / year.
- If you're not going to a run of the mill college, $20k CAD should more than cover a bachelor's degree.
That might be someone else. I'm watching her spam try to flood my users right now and none of it is asking for money.

Edit: It's added now, the latest stuff includes the crypto wallets.
It is the official admin on the official Matrix. Also, see my edit.
Couldn't adding crypto wallets make it easier to block?
I just got two asking for money from different accounts within 5 minutes! Also mine have the spaces that make it hard to read.
Oh wow. So it is a pig butchering scam after all? It might still be a harassment campaign too, though.
I’m so disappointed. Nicole betrayed us after all.
And here I was hoping it's some sort of ARG.
oeps ... she made a small mistake there ..... ~~everything you can~~ everything you own
Should've asked for an only fans link.
I’m worried for Nicole, the last message I got from her was so chopped up it looked like she was suffering from a neurological condition of some sort!
Pretty sure that's my fault. Her handler joined lemmy.ca, sent a bunch of test messages through and realized I was just filtering on the unicode they were using. They've had to resort to normal spaces to try and obscure the words.
That’s hilarious! Shadow: mighty Nicole hunter 👑
I think it's Big Balls.
