Fake profiles
« on: 23 Jan 2012, 01:38 »
So, I just decided to have a look at the members list to see if we'd had many new people sign up since the Bake Sale (welcome to those people :) ) but I also noticed there are hundreds of fake profiles recently.  They are easy to spot because the names are made up of three letters followed by three numbers followed by a somewhat pronouncable set of four more letters.  (ini691shil, irm695shun, jil721tami, zhu293hana).  It looks like they've been going on for nearly a year, with an average of 4 or 5 fake profiles being registered every day. :(

zhu293hana is real.
I chat with her yesterday and she asked me to paypal her money in order to unlock some bank account in Nigeria. Then we'll get married.

Good thing for me that zhu293hana's double-dealing antics are drawing attention away from pon447ch and po328nch and the way they've been giving all the Barn Runner games such high scores in the games database in recent weeks.  8)
