I've had 4 or 5 of these fake accounts follow me in the last week - is this a targeted attack? Has anyone else been getting these over the last 7 days? Never had them before now.

Intermeatconnection · 2022-04-05T10:14:00+00:00

I really doubt it's some sort of targeted attack. Most likely bots trying to scam thirsty simps.

Hritthik02 · 2022-04-05T09:38:06+00:00

Yes, 3 of those same type account followed me

Little_Princess1997 · 2022-04-05T10:06:03+00:00

Yeah about four of them. And imma straight woman so I don’t know what these people’s deals are. My only guess is scamming

road_laya · 2022-04-05T09:56:48+00:00

reported and blocked them. I get them 3-5 at a time.

AAAA170AAAA · 2022-04-05T09:50:01+00:00

Few days ago i got 1 aswell.

idontknowausername5 · 2022-04-05T10:01:49+00:00

Got also 2 of those, one of them seems to have also the same OF link with queenofcustom but is another user

YorkieLon · 2022-04-05T10:16:54+00:00

Yeah I got quite a few...funny now they're following redditors and all of them stating they love athletic guys

Tidoooo · 2022-04-05T09:51:33+00:00

Yeah same

CocoaBikerDaddy · 2022-04-05T09:53:42+00:00

2 here

Practical-Rip6471 · 2022-04-05T10:10:30+00:00

I've had three follow me. They think we're desperate for female attention and are trying to thirst trap us into being Patreon pay piggies. Ignore them.

reddevilkbr · 2022-04-05T10:10:57+00:00

I assumed that they are trying to market their OF, fansly or other similar accounts. So just ignored it

HatAccomplished8311 · 2022-04-05T11:52:29+00:00

Calm your tits it’s just a scam

MiserMori · 2022-04-05T10:06:07+00:00

Looks like this cute girl is really attracted to you. Congrats dude!!

Gabixzboi · 2022-04-05T10:01:42+00:00

Recently got one

fish-y_yt · 2022-04-05T10:17:24+00:00

Same but more followers for me👍😆😎😎

crusadeLeader7 · 2022-04-05T11:58:45+00:00

Annoying but I’ll take the follower

Yowazzuplol · 2022-04-05T12:06:26+00:00

mate their bots, not a targeted attacks. super common in youtube, etc. too

ShadyShamaster · 2022-04-05T11:39:28+00:00

I've had these for months, just gotta ignore it.

JoyfulCelebration · 2022-04-05T11:54:13+00:00

Just got two

Azuzu88 · 2022-04-05T12:29:50+00:00

Had three or four of them add me at the same time, ridiculous.

2022-04-05T11:13:01+00:00

hmmm how the fuck do they ALL have exact same profile info :O literally man not joking... btw lol imagine following someone so you can sell them your nudes lol what a joke xD

especially as I am an antifeminist, and on top of it a no fap member (please don't bash me if you hate no fap tho), I am in the most targeted people's groups lol lots of accounts follow me such as these crappy ones... and yeah feminists as well (to stalk me)

1NearbyAccident1 · 2022-04-05T11:39:19+00:00

You know they are getting “desperate” when they have to make Reddit accounts in order to promote themselves

masterdarthrevan · 2022-04-05T10:15:27+00:00

Block em, move on

tharkyllinus · 2022-04-05T10:21:01+00:00

Yes I've just blocked the third one today.

infurnus89 · 2022-04-05T10:25:48+00:00

I had about 3 or 4.i just block and move on.

sixmillions · 2022-04-05T10:29:48+00:00

yes i was followed by a few alreadt

Swedich-steam-power · 2022-04-05T10:29:50+00:00

Thay happen from time to time i dont think they are targeted i happens on all social media platforms

ijustdontcare74 · 2022-04-05T10:39:11+00:00

Same...had 5 of the same onlyfans types with almost the exact same text follow me....ALL BLOCKED INSTANTLY. I don't think it's nefarious, simply someone link spamming to harvest for OF account clicks.

zmasterv_8 · 2022-04-05T10:40:54+00:00

Lol, 2 of them followed me yesterday. Reddit definitely has some unique bots to say the least

coffeeguy6 · 2022-04-05T10:46:54+00:00

I've got 2 of them

YogurtclosetAshamed3 · 2022-04-05T10:47:21+00:00

[deleted] · 2022-04-05T11:23:46+00:00

I’ve got 2 of them. Good to see I’m not the only one

Taguzi · 2022-04-05T11:26:03+00:00

Got 1 few days ago go, blocked

InformalCriticism · 2022-04-05T12:16:13+00:00

They're pretty common.

2022-04-05T12:20:00+00:00

Sex bots target incels, so you're probably posting in a way that's triggering a detection algo.

Gizmomegatrix20 · 2022-04-05T12:36:03+00:00

I thought i was the only one getting them

Emperor_Quintana · 2022-04-05T12:47:53+00:00

Eh. I’ve been getting a few of those around here.

I don’t mind, so long as they do not resort to solicitation of any sort on my DMs.

2022-04-05T12:53:16+00:00

Get these all the time , snapthat , instagram tick tock …. They just want my money .

Desperate-Practice31 · 2022-04-05T13:05:54+00:00

Those accounts are everywhere in YouTube comments.

duffmanhb · 2022-04-05T13:23:51+00:00

He it’s just marketing firms are learning Reddit is useful so they throw their clients into whatever system they prefer

Guy_not_gay · 2022-04-05T13:29:08+00:00

I tink I have

spook7886 · 2022-04-05T13:40:47+00:00

Happens to me on tiktok. Just means followers I get to ignore. I get numbers and they get answers like "ok, sure fine maybe hold up" then i.look at the ammo spammer/scammers, and plan a trip to Arkansas

2022-04-05T13:55:01+00:00

Yea I had someone follow me like this before

wolfbanevv · 2022-04-05T14:04:39+00:00

Yea this is a new bot thing. Like YouTube bot.

2022-04-06T02:03:08+00:00
