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.
She likes you!
Heh. Joke’s on her, I’m poor.
I can fix her
Let Me Solo Her
What do you mean infuirating?
Spam is infuriating.
Sorry, I fell in love with you and couldn’t hold back so I made an alt to DM you
“So, uh… I heard you like shitposts” licks thumb and slicks back eyebrow
Hmm… you know lady, I’m kind of a big deal in the comments.
What do you mean “now”? They’ve always been everywhere public signups exist.
Oh Dann I got this same message but it got deleted before I checked my inbox. I guess the instance mods are on point.
Mee too… Well, it means the fediverse is getting popular!
Pron and spam… It means success!
Smells like… victory

Why haven’t these romantic bots reached out to me 🤖💔 These robots are hurting my self esteem 😢
How you doin’ 😉😏
I didn’t get one either ☹️ I’m so starved for female attention I’d happily speak to a romance scammer, just can’t bring myself to do it on a non open platform.

Feel better now?

Just give me your credit card and bank account details and your hookup will be there in no time!
I never seem to get appropriately coded romance scams.
I guess the RFI from my computer is jamming the gaydar.
Got one too, we did it Lemmy! We’re in the big leagues now!
Some of the first ever spam messages were also sent on a decentralized, federated forum: Usenet.
From day 1. You’re all bots
Beep boo- hey shut up, you stupid bot!
You’ll ruin it for the rest of us!
Dead internet theory strikes again
Everybody on Fedi is a bot except you
Hey, that hurt my simulated feelings

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.
Remember to give her your bank account details. It will make everything easier.
Fediverse has grown big enough for this to occur
Isn’t that a good thing?
Yea it is
You can tell she’s not a real girl by the lack of cat ears
You can also tell it by the fact this is Lemmy we’re talking about. /s
She’s not crossing her eyes and sticking her tongue out either.
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!!
I feel like I’ve been violently ripped back in time to 2011. This is glorious
I got the same obvious spam. Not sure how to report profiles.
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.
Most swedes speak english
Especially the kind that is a Lemmy admin
https://realbitcoin.cash/post/210?scrollToComments=true Basically every account created 19 days ago. This is hilarious. It’s like they’re playing with dolls making them all talk to each other.
Report the DM. These go to both instance admins involved (sender’s and recipient’s instances)
That’s it folks, I think we found our version of Myspace Tom.
Myspace who?
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.
Great thinking on censoring their face.
that’s just how they look
