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
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.
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.

Eventually the messages started coming with crypto addresses to help her with her sick dad and college tuition.
Ahh, yeah ok, not too surprising I guess. Thanks
No. No more Nicole spam after they locked the Nicole community. Because someone thought it would be funny to spam photos of a corpse.
As hard as they shut down discussions of “Nicole” I’m surprised simply saying the name doesn’t get your account banned.
I’m surprised shutting down the community stopped the messages. I never thought that would work

It was such a weird scam, too.
Oh that’s interesting. But the senders were from a variety of instances
