At this point, it’s become a bit meme on Reddit to share the creepy or disgusting DMs you receive. However, nothing like that has happened to me here yet, even though I’ve been active for the equivalent of three or four of those pervy chat invitations on Reddit. I’m no less active here.

i don't think we never knew if it was her or someone else using her pictures pretending to be her

    I actually dug into her (I was bored) and ended up finding her. The photo was really old but she seems to be doing well. Idk what the point of the message spam was though or why they'd use her picture

    I'm 51% sure it was spam/malware. I feel like I recall reading something that said something along the lines of they were sending messages out so that when the picture loaded they'd get location/ip data of the users who opened the message
