Looks to be a bunch of posts from new users that basically put a bit of gibberish in the body of the post.

They all have Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk signature...

Any clue why what do they accomplish ?

Don't they have to make a post before they can respond to a post... or something like that?

Gotta spam before they can scam.
They have to post before they can PM.

They PM people to try to steal money.

Report them so I can ban them and don't respond to their PMs!

@lawdogg Is there a thread we can post accounts or should we message you privately?

I’m active almost everyday and I see new accounts daily.

Edit: Nevermind, I see the report option you are referring to now!
I have a check for $2000 i need to send you. Just send me a money order for $500 back and you keep the rest.

This post is sus. Reported. Ban imminent.

But seriously, another one just posted. How is the fairly small 3S community a target for scammers, though?

It's all automated. I would say it's non-discriminatory. I'm active on a few other forums and it's exactly like the same responses I see on 3SI.

Additionally, the platform the forum is built upon is the same across MANY other forums. So I'm certain some metadata can be filtered via Google and it's as easy as click the website, sign-up, and the rest is history.
Yea, I'm over on fordforumsonline and they get similar messages. That iphone tapatalk line at the bottom of the posts usually is a dead giveaway to me
Trying to get smarter they are !

Make it look like they have a couple post etc... to make it look legit when they offer services or parts to take your money

We the regulars can really weed them out pretty quickly

That's it right there. Think they need 5 posts before they can do any thing significant..
