So what's with the Dreamwidth 'bot accounts?

[jducoeur]

Over the past month or two, I have gotten several subscribes from the most preposterous bots. I mean, the bio of the one I just got says:

Practiced in the art of working with real estate staging Companies Orange County. Spent 2002-2010 exporting glucose in Deltona, FL. Spent 2001-2004 promoting salsa in Hanford, CA. Spent 2001-2008 buying and selling deodorant in Bethesda, MD. Earned praised for my work deploying squirt guns in Orlando, FL. Prior to my current job I was merchandising dust in Bethesda, MD.

They're all like that, with clearly computer-generated resumes in the profile.

I can't for the life of me figure out the scam. I'm used to this nonsense on FB, but those tend to make at least an nod to sleaze appeal -- the feeds usually are full of bikini-clad models, trying to lure you into friending them -- but here, there are no actual posts, just deeply weird obviously-fake profiles.

Anyone have any guesses what they are up to? I don't generally think of DW as having FB's common ethos of automatically accepting all friend requests, although I suppose some people might do so...
