Who is Nicole really? Who got messages from Nicole? Who is behind the messages? What is the resolution of Nicole’s profile images? Do I really have to be a racist to join her server? This comment section’s purpose is to collect all that information.

    It probably is, it looks like a frame grab from a webcam video.

    With what appears to be a bong in shot. I can’t imagine someone using such an unflattering photo if they were using their own face.

      Eh, it’s more than likely a pig-butchering scam.

      The groups that do these are rather unsophisticated and mostly don’t speak english. It would make sense that their poor internet connections only have low quality photos and this is likely just one of many scams with equally-bad photos.

          For a pig butchering scam, a bad photo might actually make a lot of sense. If it looks like it might be a scam, only the most naive people will answer. That way, they can filter out anyone not in their target audience.

            Yeah, they supposedly make deliberate spelling mistakes as well, to filter out the smart ones.
