    Hello all! I’m Rose. Also a Fediverse chick. Unlike Nicole I don’t spam people. Also I’m not on Friendica (not many people are) and you probably shouldn’t add me as a friend on any Fedi platform because I’m a hella boring nerd.

      That’s a totally different angle and I hate it. You need to be a special kind of jerk to post someone else’s picture in a spam message.

        If you think about it: have you ever gotten a picture of the spammer itself in an spam message

          Yup. This is 100% the case. Either it’s a stolen image simply used for scamming, either it’s a harrasment technique.

      This makes sense to me because why else would they keep creating the same exact account on every instance and sending the exact same message?

      How are we supposed to be aware of the potential scams if they don’t post it though?

        If that’s the reason, one can blur out the links and shit. But this is fairly obvious, and also it’s all over lemmy constantly giving free advertisement to the spammer

    When the cost to try something is virtually zero, you don’t have to try very hard. If only one in ten thousand people will fall for a scam, then millions of attempts will still get you thousands of successes.

      One of the giveaways for me was the complete ignorance of the Canadian post-secondary system.

      She said that she’s taking pre-health sciences at George Brown College. College in Canada means community college (which George Brown is). You take a course, typically 1-3 years, with a specific goal in mind.

      Also, Canadian universities do not offer pre-med or pre-health sciences tracks. You get a degree in chemistry, biology, or whatever, and apply for med school irrespective of the program you are in. One of my classmates was accepted into medical school straight out of chemical engineering. Someone else I know was finishing a degree in Spanish literature when he was accepted into medical school.

      Maybe try again? I received at least six from them. Maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be. /s
