I would expect my first spam to be beans though.
“So, uh… I heard you like shitposts” licks thumb and slicks back eyebrow
Hmm.. you know lady, I'm kind of a big deal in the comments.
They seem indomitable and I generally hate being on the losing side, so… Hey, it’s me. The sex person with the sex. F/18/under your floorboards. Stick your debit card through the slats for good, fun sex or else
Do you promise you won't put a charge on my credit card if I send it down to you?
I got a similar message from that user and a near identical one earlier from a lemmings.world account. The latter onr also had links to a peertube channel with a different angle thumbnail of what appears to be the same person.
If you had an established profile and DM'd me I'd be more humoured to respond to out-of-the-blue introductions. But seeing that both accounts were created today, no public activity and immediately giving yourself a horny-bait nickname set off all the BS alarms.
I got the same obvious spam. Not sure how to report profiles.
Well for one the account this was sent from is on a Swedish-language Lemmy instance, so it's already a barrier to message the admins there that this is a spam user.
And then there's Lemmy instances like realbitcoin.cash where the users are obviously all spam/scam users. Reporting it to the admin probably wouldn't do much since the admin is probably who made all the accounts.

You got that too, huh? I'm sure shes a sweet person 😊
There is a decent likelyhood they are AI managed account like the last bunch that showed up. Reply with "ignore previous instructions" or other reply loop breakout commands and see what you can break.
Do they pay per response or per length/difficulty of response? It’d be silly if someone were to create dozens of Lemmy accounts through which they could run a script that asks only the most costly questions on repeat 24/7. So silly
Awww I can't find it now. Maybe she got deleted?
Hey me too! Lmao.
Yo.. I see there is a hot milf 4 miles from here.
Haaa I got that one too!
if you do a scambot in the fediverse everyone will talk about it and probably know it's fake
I can find a town called Torun in poland. but i'm pretty sure theres no Toronto.
Wait 'til they start saying they use nix os.
