Megathread: Nicole research
Who is Nicole really? Who got messages from Nicole? Who is behind the messages? What is the resolution of Nicole's profile images? Do I really have to be a racist to join her server? This comment section's purpose is to collect all that information.
@PeterArbeitslos thanks to @jonny I am now even more intrigued by this phenomenon!
got hit twice. my only guess is I argue with Russian/Chinese bots
Idk, the Fediverse feels like it's a niche. Too much effort to scam small number of people.
Also, does anyone got reply from "Nicole" after the initial DM?
https://www.fortinos.ca/en/store-locator/details/0055 this seems to be the page for the store listed in the Matrix server description. The Matrix description really makes this seem like someone is doxxing her tbh.
I think is a funny meme and everything but I feel uncomfortable with people sharing her pictures. I doubt the real person on the pictures gave concent to this.
Hey y'all, I know this theory might be a stretch, but remember that this could be someone using someone's name/face without their permission to harass them or frame them or something. Please just keep that in mind as you dig.
It probably is, it looks like a frame grab from a webcam video.
With what appears to be a bong in shot. I can't imagine someone using such an unflattering photo if they were using their own face.
Has anyone received any kind of response from Nicole? Or unsolicited contact from anyone, anywhere else after being Nicole'd?
Topic from the Matrix room:
I work at ***, *** ** **, Woodbridge, ON L4L 1A7, Canada. Come say hi sometime!
I work in the *** section, so just ask for Nicole!
Does somebody live nearby?
This is creepy as hell.
So update, topic was removed.
This is textbook internet harassment if this is a real place someone works, this is not good.
Seems like the "scam" may be a harassment campaign?
She is most likely the victim of a stalker who’s trying to get her harassed and possibly fired
I've had three, all identical messages, all from different usernames and accounts. I haven't followed any of the links.
There is some variation in a college/university name:
Extra photos:
Those all look like screenshots from a video call.
Maybe we can get rainbolt involved?
Everyone who got a Nicole message: Please get in touch here, you all might have something in common.
I got one, and I saw it being referenced somewhere else on some post, so I decided to search Nicole and found this community and your message then. Any idea what this means? What's going on haha
Nice try Zuckerberg
Which both don't exist anymore.
I'm Nicole.
We all are Nicole on this blessed day.
Speak for yourself.
I got nicoled twice.
