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.

    Hey y’all, I know this theory might be a stretch, but remember that this could be someone using someone’s name/face without their permission to harass them or frame them or something. Please just keep that in mind as you dig.

      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.

            Yeah, but when they’re dealing with possibly hundreds of these fake profiles they probably just go for the lowest quality they can get away with.

            Even something like storage costs can add up pretty quickly in a 3rd world country.
