  • TLDR; Scammer/creep is using a woman’s photos, possibly stolen from a webcam hack, and her social media links to privately message people.


    People were getting private messages with a few links and a picture from someone claiming to be Nicole the Fediverse Chick.

    Of course this becomes a meme and spreads as people talk about it.

    It gets weird because there’s multiple different pictures. 1 or 2 stolen pic online, that’s expected for these types of scam. But there’s a whole collection of them out there. Its suspected to be pulled from a live stream or a hacked webcam.

    Like usual, the chance that the woman in the picture is actually Nicole sending messages is pretty low. Having her image and links shared to randos online makes an easy target for a lot of people to harass her.

    .world admins are saying no more. All references to “Nicole” will be purged.
