Scammers at it again

Recommended Posts

Yep, they've been pretty persistent lately.

Most are long time members here so you might not know or remember but when signing up for an account here, Amand has put a couple of things in place that are specifically designed to try to keep bots/spam to a minimum.  Firstly, when the new user initially tries to sign-up there is challenge-response authentication step in place that is primarily designed to curb bot attacks.  Secondly, the user then can't post or sign-in until they reply to the initial e-mail that is sent (This is a standard internet account authentication step that is designed as much to protect the user as it is the site....).

Even with those standard protocols in place, of course scammers/fakers are still persisting and getting through.

Best advice I have is to try to ignore them as 'white noise' and know that the moderators are doing our best to delete the erroneous accounts as quickly as possible.
