Yes, I believe this is the first scam/spam-to-private-mail bot that reached such a wide audience. On lemmy at least.
Been going on for quite a while now, but it's difficult to block permanently since there are so many instances where they can make an account. Until they've used up all the nicole+instance domain names lol.

I wonder whether the person in the photo will ever find out that she became an internet microcelebrity here.

I can imagine someone creating a community as a fanclub for her.
Edit: oh, that community does exist. For some reason my instance can't find it.

Are we taking this and making it a Lemmy thing?
Bort@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 1y
It seems like a good place to start.

I woke up to three Nicoles from three different accounts, once.
Gigameister@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 1y
I got that immediatly after I joined and blocked it from bot behaviour.
Is this a known meme arround here?
asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev · 11 pts · 1y
It's made into a meme, but it is real spam. Nobody really knows why the person behind it does it.

Unfortunately started seeing some with just a random string for the username. The display name can still be "Nicole".
Lazycog@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 1y
Ah shit I forgot about "display name" since I've been using voyager app...
Bort@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y
I only joined a couple of days ago and have seen Nicole many times already. So I don't know, but feels like it to me 🤷🏼♀️

I wonder what the actual drive is for these messages. Phishing?
curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 1y
Thats pretty quickI have a few accounts, and only received this particular spam twice in a few years of Lemmy.
Sat@lemmynsfw.com · 5 pts · 1y
How do I delete it? If I try, I get an error saying system messages cannot be deleted...

Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee · 4 pts · 1y
This has been bugging me for a while now, what is that in front of her?
It looks like a bong, but I don't know enough about drugs to be sure.
Bort@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 1y
It's not a bong its a vase
