My BS alert meter is on HIGH! 100% There is no doubt that there has been in increase in the past weeks/months of this sort of thing. The average spammer/scammer used to just post on the public forum (similar to the Apple phone dude that just got deleted). Seems that lately the thing is the private messaging. Casey had posted a good PSA as a heads-up to folks on this yesterday. Everyone should keep their BS alert meter tuned-in!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigorange Report post Posted February 19, 2021 The wording on these is always so similar too...sort of like the Nigerian fortune emails that all read the same way. I’m sure it’s some automated bot scrolling through and generating messages. Wonder if the forum platform folks are working on ways to prevent this or if the spammers stay one step ahead of the fix... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
