She must be real. She just messaged me last night!

I still stand by Nicole being one of those two Russian steam accounts I linked to when the scam first popped up.

That's not the only account. Sorry for the picture but I can't copy/paste from my blocklist.

The pictures look like screen grabs of a zoom call, not really profile pics.

Most romance scammers steal random photos from online. “Nicole” could be a yahoo boy in Lagos, or multiple guys working for a quasi-state approved Russian operation.

I don't think this is a romance scam. The linked matrix basically doxes her workplace and all of her images, like you said, appear to be from a webcam. It looks more like harassment to me.

I sexted her and she didn't say a word...😔

Just like a real girl. That convinces me.

Please stop sending my girlfriend dick pics. She is coming to see me soon, just need to help pay for her flight.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Guess your dick pic game isn't what you thought.

I got my message this week past. I feel I've finally connected.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

You're one of us! I've had 4 of them already! My most recent one being this morning 😅

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I've said before and I'll repeat here again that we really ought to be denying recognition to the person behind those messages, whoever they are.

That said, I remember not long ago reading a comment that somebody had actually seen the person in those images livestream, which wouldn't be possible if these were just photos of a person who had nothing to do with it.

Spam is not real. Welcome to the internet.

Only in the same way Jake from State Farm is.
