willland Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 It seems as though many new members in the last day or two have some "locksmith" business advertisements on their profiles. Usually a photo of attractive women and the ad link. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willland Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 I can't find one now. It was at least 5 in the last 30 hours or so. I think all from California. All with photos of a woman in late 20's. I periodically look at the "newest member" profile each day to see if any person I know. My friend's son is going to create a profile so I have been watching for it. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Can you copy and paste the lady's picture? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 There were probably 40+ ladies pictures, all different. All had the same one or two birthdays and all had advertisements for a locksmith in random cities. The rest were men pictures. Once they're flagged as spam, the picture goes away.

CECAA850 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Can you copy and paste the lady's picture? Go to the bottom of the main page and click the new content button. on the next page, on the left there is a members button. Click that and you can scroll the pictures of the spammers for about the next 4 pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Ok, found some. It's pretty sophisticated for spammers to go to the trouble of photo avatars. What a brave new world with such people in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all had birthdays within one or two days of each other as well. The whole profile was filled out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete H Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I think Bill is trying to impress us by keeping a careful eye on the site while he's planning a run for moderator in the November Klipsch forum elections. Really, good catch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjd Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 So, i hope I get some free coffee around here ... in 10 years, i’ve got my first thread locked. I could use a nice garage door. Since the thread title wasn't about garage doors or multiple birthdays on the same date, when reading the title of this thread, I initially felt bad for BigStewMan since I thought maybe he got his second thread locked in 10 years and "locksmith" was a new euphemism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
