Sophisticated Scammers
07/13/22 at 23:18:13  
I've noticed a trend here in the last few weeks with scammers showing up and putting 4 posts in quickly to gain access to try to scam people.

My thought is that maybe after 4 posts you can access who members are or get access to IM's?
Maybe is is some sort of hacker game

The real weird thing is they they have put in some very savvy questions lately. They used to just copy and paste things or say "I agree" or such to get their 4 posts.

Again, I'm not sure what their end game is here.
But if you message someone and they reply with some sort of fishy looking link, please message me so I can have a look and hopefully ban their ass.

Well they also keep coming at us the normal way!

I was alerted by a very savvy member just this morning about another shady scammer that had been in our forum just last night.

Typical methods this time, a few replies asking if something was available or agreeing with a post, then sending a member a message with some sort of hinky link or attachment.

If this happens to you, please don't hit the link!
Just send me a message and I will look into it and hopefully hit them with the mighty ban hammer!
