They hire spammers to post links to their site on forums.

Edit: removed something I'm highly suspicious about but cannot prove therefore may be libellous. So I'm removing it before mods are forced to do so.

Thanks londonTiger.
theforumking has been all over the forum since October with pointless posts in order to bring up his post count and now he can add links.
He's a student stiffed on a beauty deal, a struggling web designer, a gamer, a pet lover.....anything to get his post count up to promote bam scam.
Could the idiots who reply to spammers not do so please?!! Just mark the :spam: icon and let the thread/post die.
By replying, you bump the thread to the top of the forum, making it visible on the front page - which is what these nolifes want!!:huh: Don't know what I'm doing, but doing it anyway... :huh:0 -
Bumping spam does push it up for the spam button to be pressed. I think it is better bumped a few times and on the front page until it is killed rather than leaving it to lurk for years.You might as well ask the Wizard of Oz to give you a big number as pay a Credit Referencing Agency for a so-called 'credit-score'0

I spotted those posts last night. The website seemed to post that a website was a scam and charge the website owner to remove it.
Sounds like a scam to me.
So is BAM a SCAM also?
I do think so.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -

Well done MSE. Thanks.0
