What is the point of the Nicole spam?

The strategy is to get you onto a different platform to make instant messaging easier. They are just "advertising" on Lemmy.

Once you're on a chat platform, they will likely attempt the "Romance Baiting" (formerly "Pig Butchering") scam: make the target fall in love, then persuade them to send money for things like "travel expenses" or "family medical bills". Also involves buying crypto.

I had a dream this morning that I got a job working concessions at a movie theatre. Every time a customer came in to get a soda, an obnoxious alarm would go off. I reached a point I couldn't handle it, I told the manager "I'll finish out today, but Im sorry, the alarm those cups are making is too annoying." The manager said "I'll let you head out now, but that's your own alarm."

It was my morning alarm.
