[META] SCAMMER/CATFISH ALERT - Jane69

Post Body

About a month ago, a scammer arose that has maintained a level of persistence unprecedented in the history of /r/r4r. It's really quite impressive, actually.

So far, they've made 21 throwaway accounts. 1 post has been created for each before being nuked and accounts banned. This is a screenshot of the first 3 pages of the ban list: http://i.imgur.com/EM0DMkx.png

These are all of "jane"s posts thus far: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21]

ATTRIBUTES

  • "jane" - Each username has "jane" in it.

  • "69" - Not all, but most usernames have "69" in them. Sometimes it's a year. Sometimes it's a minor variation like "68" or "70."

  • "26" - The age is always 26 except for the first post. I'm assuming they had a birthday. Or maybe they just liked 26 better.

  • "AGE IS JUST A NUMBER" - Most posts include this title.

  • The location is different every time.

  • English quality is inconsistent. Sometimes it's good with proper punctuation, spacing, capitalization, grammar, etc. Sometimes it's bad with odd spacing, over-punctuation, forgone capitalization, and so forth.

  • "She" abandons her accounts after they're banned or she's gotten some people to Skype. She does not come back to delete posts, comments, or accounts.

  • "She" is a scammer trying to drive traffic to some webcam or escort site.

WHAT TO DO

If you see this bullshit, do the following immediately:

  • Comment on the post. Something like "THIS IS A CONFIRMED SCAMMER" would be fine, then link to this [META] post.

  • Report the post. "Spam" would probably be fine, but it would be better to put "jane69" in the "other" field.

  • Send modmail. Include the link to the post.

SIMILAR CONTENT

If you believe that other content falls under spam/scams/catfishing/doxing/harassment/trolling/etc, PLEASE REPORT IT. If you're suspicious but unsure, please send modmail so we mods can look into it. Remember, not all shitposting is an infringement of /r/r4r or reddit's rules. Sometimes it really is just shitposting.
