Nope, your first instinct is right, it’s a spammer. But it’s one of the few specific spammers that almost everyone has run into on lemmy, so it’s just a joke. Like saying you met a Nigerian prince who offered you a huge sum of money.

And then all of them are “Nicole”.
I got a message from nicole with a pic. I thought it was a scammer or something. Just a one off thing. Is that not the case? Is Nicole a lemmy thing?

I have yet to be messaged by this person. Dunno what anybody is talking about. In fact, I’ve never actually been messaged by anybody on lemmy.
My first Nicole message was today. You’ll join the club eventually.
I just got mine today, like some tribal initiation
Still haven’t gotten one. Guess the bots don’t like me.
You might have received one but we usually delete them pretty quickly. We’re either doing an ok job at fighting spam, or I’m keeping her to myself.
Damn power hungry admins always keeping the sweet sweet bot ladies for themselves.
I guess I’m not special enough, Nicole doesn’t want to talk to me.

Gods please don’t let this be a trend…
