    What are these idiots even trying to sell, anybody who clicks their links or calls the phone number in the subject line is not that bright, why do they waste their time lol.

    I hate to say it but i'm guessing a catcha phrase may be the only thing as much as I hate filling those in.

    I support all the efforts the admins have been doing. There is no miracle, besides good old fashioned work.

    Its better to say supportive things than point fingers. They are working on our behalf. ;)

    I agree they are doing a fantastic job :)

    I just question spamming in general and why this nonsense exists, it's a losing battle I know lol.

    I've been tempted on calling one of these someday, seeing if it's a bot or an actual person and trolling around. Assuming they won't be charging my damn Skype or Phone.

    KoG,I believe that is exactly what they want.......................you to call so they can charge you a lot of money..........:mad:

    To reasonable people, (which I suspect the members of this community are) none of this makes sense. There doesn't seem to be a reason why or what they are trying to accomplish in the spam. Just a very big nuisance to everyone here.

    Unfortunately spam is fairly common at any forum. You can take precautions, but it still finds a way through.

    Nailed it Laddie.

    The same goes with those "Do Not Call" lists you have against telemarketers/spammers. No matter how many lists you join, you always get a phone call at some point.

    Please post something like this in your own thread. You just reopened a 10 old post thread for an off topic comment.
