Isn't the fact that there is now someone called citicreditfiretruckingasia posting enough to delete the user(S) and the thread???
I rarely question the moderators, but what the purgatory???
Time for me to break the rules.
You know that thread you deleted?
There, I talked about a thread you deleted. By rules of this forum you must at least delete my post. I hope this whole thing is trashed.
I wish I could post in a way as to not bump this crap to the top.

Oh no I.D....you're cranky!
I wouldn't bump it either, except that I don't think many on the Chiffboard are susceptible to the link-dangling, or so naive as to not catch on to what is really happening in this interesting observational exercise in spammer methodology.

So...you dangle an open-ended seemingly "innocent" question in multiple random forums, then--most helpfully--pop in a page or so later (under a different and "personal"
handle (or at least you mention someone named "Azriela" for that authentic touch) to give your winsome story of how debt has been good to you. (With link helpfully provided...just in case anyone out there is smitten with a crushing envy of your lifestyle.) Good one. Steve and Azriela seem like such a cute couple.

Like Emm, at this time I'm viewing this as an "interesting observational exercise in spammer methodology". There seems to be a new class of "intelligence" heretofore unseen. Can't defend against what you don't know.

My spam box is full of this sort of invitation all the time. The spammers usually use a tricky phrase to lure you into opening the email, or in this case, clicking on a link on a forum such as C & F. They will say something about me personally that they think I will want to respond to. Another gimmick is to say something untrue about current events or a celebrity. For example, "McCain chooses Dolly Parton as his running mate". Who wouldn't want to learn a little more about that. One thing I would like to know, however, is how the spammers know that I might be interested in low-cost, high-potency Viagra.

Well, there you have it.Denny wrote:Nanohedron wrote:I'm not sure what you mean. Did you mean the server errors?Denny wrote: I was wondering if that's what went wrong...no darling
I meant those low spots in my life
Anyway, as to our two newfound friends, here, let's just say wings have been clipped.

My example above is too frivolous. A better "catch you" phrase would have been:Nanohedron wrote:Me.Doug_Tipple wrote:For example, "McCain chooses Dolly Parton as his running mate". Who wouldn't want to learn a little more about that.
I mean, it's obviously spam, right?
