Yeah it seemed funny at first but the longer this went on the creepier it got as we all realized this isn't just a catfish.
Whoever is doing this to the actual person in the photos is a terrible human being and should go climb under a rock for the rest of their lives.
Agreed. When the images started to change it got really creepy.
It got super creepy when more shots of this women were released of her doing activities that no one would ever take a photo of themselves doing. Then the last photo was released separately of a NSFW donβt read if you are not in a place to read gore/graphic/assault
Tap for spoiler
Real photo of a dead woman who looks like Nicole in a morgue body bag with her flesh peeled off and her face beaten. Itβs unlikely that this disturbing turn is real but it was horrific for people who received this last spam. That is what triggered the ultimate ban on all images (since this is most likely a psychopathic copycat). :(
I've seen several different images and there was a video on peertube. All of them look like content from a hacked webcam.
Yeah, that's what I thought from the very first DM I received. It looks like Shea totally unaware a picture was taken of her. Surely, if this were real, "Nicole" would use a more flattering picture to potential friends.
It's just creepy because in every other obvious scam like this for the last 10 years they use the same single picture of the same person on everyone. Now suddenly there are dozens of different pictures, all clearly of the same woman, going to different people.
