    So, explain this move to me:

    We know it’s a scam of some kind, to the point a community has sprung up to discuss it. Why keep pushing the exact same scam? Is it working somehow?

      Lately, I’m starting to believe that rather than any scam, this may be a harassment campaign. The target seems to be the person in the images.

        That would be horrible and makes this more creepy than anything. I almost hope it’s a scam instead of targeted harassment. But now that you’ve said this I feel very uneasy that you may be right

          Someone here recently did some digging and found some LinkedIn and Facebook accounts that seemed to be from a girl eerily similar to the one in the photos. Also, the Matrix server once leaked an address that seemed to be near the University in the messages.

          This is almost certainly a harassment campaign.
