Should I give her my CC number to keep her company?
I just another one today!
Just got another one 2 hours ago!
This shows that lemmy is a mature social media now! It has its own OF bots!
I got my dm from the bot just a bit ago! I feel all loved now :)
Same, feels like I matter
Got mine as well. Glad to see I’m not alone on the bot list of targets.
Someday am actual human woman is going to approach me and start talking and I’m going to assume she’s a bot
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).
awww, we got our own community chic? she’s everyone’s girlfriend now, also, 45 y.o. and a man
Rule 30.
There are numbers before 34?
You wouldn’t be the first person to skip straight to the porn.
Yes ok but you don’t need to be doing their job for them. Blur that shit.
Why? Why respect the privacy of a spambot?
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.
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.
