edit: it’s now a part of the spam as well:
oh no! What a shocking development. I hope everyone quickly sends The Fediverse Chick all of their money, so that she might be able to pay her tuition. It’s sad that she has unexpectedly fallen on hard times, but I’m sure if every one of us donates every last bit of money they have, things will be really great! /s
I already sent all of my bitcoin to her. I hope she’s okay.
So did I. I didn’t have any though.
But is that the “real” Nicole, or a metascammer trying to piggyback on the scam?
It is the official admin on the official Matrix
I suggest to message the instance admins & everyone who facilitates the blocking efforts, telling them the BTC / LTC addresses, so that they can quicly set up corresponding filters.
@fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com
@Illecors@lemmy.cafe
@sunaurus@lemm.eecryptocurrency addresses
BTC:

LTC:LY3UnBfq2VgmTF3AkLU862fNij7UBnm7kZ
Spoiler
Also, surely there’s a way to notify admins without having to ping all of them?
Thanks for the reports, they’ve been dealt with
Thanks for the ping. dbzer0 hasn’t federated with this community properly so i have to use my alt. I’ve stepped it up and have started deleting everything that has the words “fediverse chick”. I knew this will happen eventually. I’m going to talk to db0 about enabling the SQL method, and purge each and every single message from her.
Yeah you can make a report, it’ll go to mod of community, admin of your instance and admin of poster instance. For messages there’s no community so it only goes to admins. You can also pester them on matrix
still basically the same as pinging them
in fact, its more work on my part because I have to recount everything.
congrats on predicting it
Probably a copycat.
What is the full username?
It is the official account from the Matrix.
Official Nicole lore just dropped
Alright, I can confirm now.
Source of that message (wallets hidden):

Oh wow. So it is a pig butchering scam after all? It might still be a harassment campaign too, though.
I’m so disappointed. Nicole betrayed us after all.
And here I was hoping it’s some sort of ARG.
I’m worried for Nicole, the last message I got from her was so chopped up it looked like she was suffering from a neurological condition of some sort!
Just a minute ago lmao
oeps … she made a small mistake there …
everything you caneverything you ownI think it’s Big Balls.
