Lemmy Support

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.)
