Just thought some of you would like to know (as if we already all did not) where the majority of the new members signing on, first or second posts, attempting to insert their Links, Phishing, Spamming and everything related to those 'low-life' computer journey livelihood ventures people originate from.
Pakistan
India
Africa
There are others, but those are the top 3, that I catch, when I run their IP Locations. Yes, some do use USA or other country 'Proxy' servers, but there are ways to catch those as well.
And to reiterate myself and my policies here, I am not against well known and regular posting members inserting links to their posts. However as far as links to online gambling websites, I rather those are not inserted for various reasons.
One of those reasons is that I feel most of them are not honest in their business practices. I tried to deal with a couple of them that are on other forums as well. I have proven their business practices to be dishonest in many ways. If they are dishonest in their business practices, I can only imagine what they engage in with their players.
As far as someone that is honest coming on board here, posting and promoting honest and reputable gaming sites, I am open to that. But, I want to know who the member is beyond an anonymous, by proxy, email contact only, as well as whom the gambling site is with references and certifications, etc., etc. Then the person can sponsor our forum and promote business in a real and open way.
Most likely won't happen because the way I look at those attempting to Link, Spam, Phish, etc., is the same as those that call our cell phones with their robot or off-shore call centers trying to sell after market car warranties, house warranties, burial insurance policies, etc., etc., etc. And if you attempt to redial and call 99% of them back, your cell phone carrier will tell you, the number you reached has been disconnected and is out of service. The more creative ones actually have started using your own area code and first three digits as their originating business number, and it is not. Others have found computer programs to actually show call back numbers of real live businesses and others, that are in no way connected to them. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Right along with those texting they are from the USPS or UPS and there is a package waiting, etc.,etc., just click the link to get it delivered. Oh yeah one more. The one about the $1,537.17 charge to Walmart or Amazon and if we made it there is no action required, but if we did not click the link to stop the pending credit card charge, etc., etc.
So, I have nothing against someone that desires to promote honest and reputable online gaming, but I want to know who the person is as well as the business.
Do you mean to tell me that the email I got from Nigeria is a scam.......which stated that a Nigerian Prince had been left $ 50,000,000 from his father in his will and that he needed $40,000 to release the funds....and if I sent him the $ 40,000 he would give me
$ 1,000,000 as a fee.
I was going to send the $ 40,000 tomorrow........now I am having second thoughts,
Lol, I forgot about those!
