Hey got the same one.
Is nicole cheating on me? q.q
She messaged me twice.
I’ll make sure to say hi for you next time.
I can fix her

Mee too… Well, it means the fediverse is getting popular!
Pron and spam… It means success!
Why haven’t these romantic bots reached out to me 🤖💔 These robots are hurting my self esteem 😢
🥵 HOT SINGLES IN YOUR AREA 🔥 --> totallynotascam. com
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.
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.
How you doin’ 😉😏
Smells like… victory

Some of the first ever spam messages were also sent on a decentralized, federated forum: Usenet.
Got one too, we did it Lemmy! We’re in the big leagues now!
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 had forgotten those were a thing ever since I got off Tinder. Luckily I’ve always been too cynical to believe unsolicited messages from women lol
Time to let my troll off its leash.
Fediverse has grown big enough for this to occur

Yea it is
I am the horny lonely single in your area.
From day 1. You’re all bots
Hey, that hurt my simulated feelings
Everybody on Fedi is a bot except you
Joined 1 year ago. 0 posts. >500 comments. Surely a real human! /s
Beep boo- hey shut up, you stupid bot!
You’ll ruin it for the rest of us!
Dead internet theory strikes again
Got it today! Thanks for the warning, not that I would bite lol.
DUDE I GOT THIS TOO😭😭
You can tell she’s not a real girl by the lack of cat ears
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
You can also tell it by the fact this is Lemmy we’re talking about. /s
What I dont understand is what is the purpose?
Creating a fake relationship and then extracting money from people for example by getting them to invest money into fake crypto trading places.
On I get that. Are ppl that dumb?
Yes, its mostly older people that are alone that fall for this type of scam.
My sister-in-law works for a bank and she had a 70yo customer that sent multiple thousands of euros to a guy she has never met. They told her its a scam, but she insisted to send the money anyways. Her family had to watch her sending away all of her life savings.

I’d wager that’s not the most represented demographic in the fediverse… and neckbeards tend to know better.
Even if its only 1 in 1000 that bites, its worth it for them. Average wage in many of the countries these scammers come from is probably like 50-200 euros, so getting someone to transfer you their savings can give you enough money to live from for years. Obviously, most of that money goes to the person operating the scam.

And the scammers themselves are often forced labor.
No I’m doesn’t! 😟
Yes. People get scammed for millions this way.
A newer scam does an end-around the normal sniff tests. They don’t ask you to give htem money, they strike up a pretty genuine friendship, they have details that check out, so it feels like you’ve just made an actual friend. They’ll talk to you for months. And then they’ll mention that they’ve been making a lot of money on this cool new investment. Well you want to make a lot of money on an investment too, so you ask how, and they tell you how to download an app from the app store, which is supposed to be a safe place, and walk you through “investing” money in some crypto or whatever. Which of course is the payout.
Lol I had one of these from a wrong number. I ended up pissing them off and they stopped talking to me because before they could even get into the scam I had a long winded rant with them about crypto being monstrously useless and I’d never in a million years invest in magic beans.
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.
I got DM’d too!! Lessgoooo
