Hotties giving me Kudos and arse pics!

[grellboy]

Last two completely non descript rides I've done (0.67 miles!!!) have garnered me Kudos from two foreign sounding hotties and pics of their arse too!!! Whilst these are not unwelcome I can imagine this will become tiresome eventually.....and God knows what my missus would say if she ever opens the laptop and Strava is on it lol!! Anyone else had this? I linked my account to Training Peaks last night so I'm guessing there might be a link to that.

We need pics or it did not happen, 0.67

Hope this doesn't get me banned from Cycle chat!
NB - did post pics but guess moderators deleted them!

You're going that way, I'd suggest.

No but we are now keeping an eye on you.

I don't know what their angle is but these "girls" are trying to sucker you in to something. I've also had dodgy messages on Strava and I've never actually posted a ride as I don't have a GPS device (I registered in order to view a route someone wanted to share with me).

If it's anything like CC it's probably Russian bots. We are fending off hundreds of the things a week.

Wow. So it's come to strava. Ugh. Well, they want to be a proper social network I guess this is the price.

Come next election we'll all be bombarded with kudos from Russian botnets, appearing to come from Jeremy Corbyn.

Certainly makes my experience of being trolled by actual cyclists seem pretty mundane

I’ve had a few people on Facebook saying something similar has happened to them. It’s some sort of Nigerian scam, and the ‘hotties’ are in fact some teenager, who’s neither a woman, or hot. They’ll try and get your account number and sort code, so they can transfer the monies, made up of the 2p and 5ps from down the back of the sofa ( probably).

I’ve seen some lovely Russian bots, but alas have not had to fend any off yet...

think what would happen if you upped the mileage !

They're Russian Novachock smugglers trying to find British men for their passports.

Weird I've just had that today as well.

Wrongly, IMHO. Maybe they should have wrapped them in a warning spoiler, but without them it's not really clear what differentiates your experience from my completely different experience (above)

For the record, they were two perfectly proportioned and professionally style bulbous butts, of the sort you never see in the wild. For clarity, I am sure I know people who have such perfect arses, but they don't appear that way in an untutored belfie.

 

[Drago]

I have a perfect arriss.

I had a bit of kudos from lovely girl called Victoria today. I definitely can't share her photo on here, so here's a nice snack instead.

I've looked at all the privacy settings and can't work out how to block it while still being able to be on leaderboards etc. Any ideas?

Well Bot is short for Bottom. So it is Russian Bottoms on the attack.
