The two I got, the photo looks the same. Not the one with the top of the little bubbler bong visible, the other one, just looking all bored. Looking down, I guess, though since I blocked the users I can’t actually see them anymore now to confirm. They did have the “Dad lost his job, plz send $$$ to this BTC address” bit in them, which appears to be new in the last day or two. So I guess it depends on how you define “scam.” Doesn’t look like a Nigerian 419 or phishing or the like necessarily, but she’s definitely gone straight to just outright asking for money in the PM.
Interesting. Links to a go fund me are theorized to be interlopers or maybe people just using this to try to get money—as it deviates from the original iteration.
Do you happen to know the username? The naming scheme also changed in the past few days when the new asking for money showed up.

Yo check this new theory out. Might want to change your IP.
Interesting. Hey thanks for the information. It seems if someone gets a DM they get more than one sent.
So, you might be right in that you were specifically sent a spam—maybe because you angered the Nicolegod
We’ll see! I hope the rest of your week is Nicole free! 👍
