    So real talk, what exactly is the angle here? Are these rogue instances in the links? Truly just trying to bait in the lonely and gullible to eventually solicit payment down the line?

    It just seems … weird for a romance bait scam. Average looking woman (though could be to lower guards), links to Fediverse service profiles rather than botted DM exchanges, etc.

    I could just be being naive, but idk. There’s a very particular brand of fishy to this, beyond the obvious. The other probable scammer I dealt with at least came with a sob story that I could see being more effective (end of his rope humanitarian worker in an African country, children dying due to lack of $ for the program).

    Yes ok but you don’t need to be doing their job for them. Blur that shit.

        It’s not about respecting the privacy of a spambot. it’s about doing their job for them. The bot wants their links and their advert to be seen by as many eyeballs as possible. Guess what the OP just achieved? Blur all links next time.

          I’m kinda on the fence… yeah ditch any actual links, etc, but with a title like that to this post, it’s kinda showing familiarity AND the bait warning. So… 🤷🏼‍♂️

        Got mine as well. Glad to see I’m not alone on the bot list of targets.

    I looked at this thread and then my notifications. It was there but hadn’t notified me yet, said 23 seconds ago. Weird timing.

    Yes, please do. Just make sure to send her the “correct” one, or it might be bad for her if she got the “wrong” one, whoopsie!
