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.

A decent quality photo isn't that big, even over dialup you can send a better one.

[–] cool@lemmings.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

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.

For a pig butchering scam, a bad photo might actually make a lot of sense. If it looks like it might be a scam, only the most naive people will answer. That way, they can filter out anyone not in their target audience.

Yeah, they supposedly make deliberate spelling mistakes as well, to filter out the smart ones.
