    Did anyone ever find out what “Nicole” etc actually wanted ? I just blocked and immediately reported spam, but tbh never actually ask what flavour of scam “she” was up to

      Eventually the messages started coming with crypto addresses to help her with her sick dad and college tuition.

      No. No more Nicole spam after they locked the Nicole community. Because someone thought it would be funny to spam photos of a corpse.

          I’m surprised shutting down the community stopped the messages. I never thought that would work

            sh.itjust.works clamped the spam filter down so hard that there was awhile there where I couldn’t access the nicoled@feddit.org community from my account, I had to go separately. So somebody might still be trying and it’s getting nuked server side.

            It was such a weird scam, too.

                Yeah I think the sh.itjust.works admins blocked it pretty hard from showing up to internal accounts. Other folks from other instances could send, but us sh.itheads couldn’t receive. And they did their brain surgery with a backhoe.
