    Yep, got it. Twice, actually, somebody’s finger must have slipped.

    It was kind of inevitable that fraudsters would figure out making a sockpuppet on here is easy.

    Hey I got this message, we are going to be going on a date soon. I just need to help her with some financials first, but I don’t see it as an issue.

    Fediverse has grown big enough for this to occur

      You can also tell it by the fact this is Lemmy we’re talking about. /s

      There zero– I repeat, –ZERO girls on the internet. There wasn’t any, and there never will. You saw someone post a pic of themselves, and they were a girl? That’s AI. Went on a videocall with a woman? That’s heavy makeup (and AI). In fact, the term GIRL aactually means Guy In Real Life. Girls on the internet are actually goverment drones built to mess with MY feelings, and they will probably mess with yours, too. Be careful, they may be watching us right now… ARGH!!

      Well for one the account this was sent from is on a Swedish-language Lemmy instance, so it’s already a barrier to message the admins there that this is a spam user.

      And then there’s Lemmy instances like realbitcoin.cash where the users are obviously all spam/scam users. Reporting it to the admin probably wouldn’t do much since the admin is probably who made all the accounts.

      Report the DM. These go to both instance admins involved (sender’s and recipient’s instances)

        The myspace founder, Tom Anderson made an account on his own service and it was added to the friendlist of everyone when they joined. It wasn’t a live account, just a friend that everyone had that wasn’t real.

          I think that is common, when you create an account you automatically follow the Bluesky account.
