I think you answered your own question. It’s spam from a bot user called Nicole.
The issue is anonymous account creation + open access for new anonymous accounts to do whatever they want until it’s “proved” that they’re up to no good.
The thing I don’t get is on other platforms you get spammed by fake hot people, why is this not spamming an ugly photo with non-popular media? It doesn’t make sense.
It might be just an actual real person, who’s chosen this method not realizing that it is abusive to talk with everyone with their pitch for money and friendship, on a network this large. Or, more likely, it’s a scammer who is figuring that it’ll work better to use a photo of a real-looking person instead of an obvious catfish hot girl.
(I’m not actually convinced, I would assume that the same type of person who falls for this stuff is also more lizard-brain-driven and will react more strongly to a hot person texting them regardless of how much sense it makes.)
