I'm not sure if this belongs in the "GDNET comments, suggestions, and ideas" forum because, well, it's a question. Not a comment, suggestion, or idea [wink]. Please move if it is supposed to be there.
Like, wtf is this I just recieved in my PM box? (It's from a registered user.)

... On a GameDev site...? If this was not automated, we gotta sort out the issue where #gdnet is the first result on google when you search for "I have questions" or something. :/

hmm, Nigerian spam - my favourite [rolleyes]

It does happen sometimes, but the mind boggles as to why people go through the sign-up process to do this sort of thing. Complete waste of time.

Send me or another moderator the username who it came from and we can look into it [smile]

Cheers,
Jack

OMG a shaved 24 year old bi chick wants to fly out from Nigeria just to meet you and you deleted her e-mail??? Send her the money ASAP!

So for $650 she's offering to come round to yours and have sex with you? You can find much cheaper prostitutes on your local street corners without the risk of sending large sums of money to a foreign country, and you get to see the goods up front ...... so I've heard anyway (ahem) ;p

Oh, so it wasn't automated? But, why go through the whole sign-up processor for nothing, lol [lol].

Slightly OT but something I was curious about. If she was really from New York and an American citizen ...wouldn't she be able to go to a US Embassy and they'd get her home?

Also, the "Special: shaved" bit made me laugh ...it's almost like a restaurant menu [lol]

AFAIK they're manual. We've had one Nigerian phone spammer who has signed up and been banned something like 50 times.

Like JJ said, drop the username and we'll drop them. Solid.

Not too sure about that, her grammar isn't too good [lol].

Banned already :D.

But... isn't it just plain boring to do it? I mean, registering, waiting for email, logging in, etc.

My suspicion is that somewhere they sit in an office and go through a giant list of sites, copy-pasting the spam of the day.

They probably get paid by the hour, which would explain their low level of competence in evading my watchful eye.

This kind of scam-spam capability is most likely ludicrously profitable.
