Obviously the catpchas are effective, since his strategy has changed. Now he's posting inside of threads.
Rather than just downvoting him, I suggest hitting that "Report to moderator" link and entering "spam". This will help the mods find his posts.

+1 for your suggestion :)

How are they doing that? I have captcha evne tho im replying to a thread

I don't think it's a spambot posting, I think they are posting manually.
-
haha. well good luck to him if hes doing it manually.
thats barely a scam, coz he would really need to WORK for his money
-
I'd just like to know why he is doing it.
Is it possible that people are buying into his scam enough to make it worth his/her time or is s/he just messing with us? Or something altogether different.
-
just report the posts when you see them.
-
The spammers are sending private messages now, too. There doesn't seem to be any way to report them or to block the sender, though.

Of course. That's the only reason spammers do what they do. As hard as it is to believe, in a large enough population, there will always be suckers who fall for the trap. Spam long enough and somebody will send you money. Just today somebody posted on the forum that they sent money to btkoin.co.uk and didn't get coins in return. Does that address sound familiar?

Go to your account settings and uncheck "Show others my online status". He's using the list of online people at the bottom of the main page to PM spam.

Yup, their posting times coincide with east cost afternoons, if it were a bot it would be constant, also they are immediately changing logins wen an account is banned and bypassing capchas.

Absolutely correct. Unless they configure the forum to not allow PM''ing until 25 - 50 posts are achieved, this will continue to happen.
