I'm going out on errands today and I'm picking up a ton of popcorn. We hear about people who get caught in lies across forums and using multiple user names to justify themselves but I think this is the first on CL. Remember the guy who wanted to try to make an internal combustion engine with a recirculating exhaust setup? I hope this teaches people on the internet to own up and stop lying.
No, we get several of them per week. The moderator team usually just deals with them in private and typically we remove them from the public forums within 5 - 10 minutes so few members ever see them.

This one I've treated a little differently because of what appears to be widespread abuse across dozens of automotive forums that I think needs to stop. They apparently see absolutely nothing wrong with the approach of forum spam with fake word-of-mouth advertising.

probably coz' they (still) don't understand how their spamming techniques are completely exposed and think they are still covering up good?

i am sure there are some good courses on computer/internet 101 in arizona

This reminds me of that infamous thread where the spammer was busted as a child sex abuser and registered sex offender.

Hey Jim -

Do you also send junk mail about extended warranties? Because I got one in the mail, and NONE of our cars has less than 100K on it!

It is pretty sick minded to have these guys from this warranty company portray themselves as a woman on a lambo thread as an inicent woman in need of help who just hapens to have the link to only one warranty company but even funnier is that some of these lambo guys were kind of hitting on her...LOL Than they found out with Dave's help that they were stuck in a "Crying Game" spin off...

This was the reason why I didn't click on this thread and wanted to see if any warranty would cover any car over 100k miles

Seriously though. If this was a reputable company, Wayne should've just apologize and left already. Thanks to his persistence, we all know what type of business person he is.

The reason why we have such a good team of moderator is to keep our forum as scam-free as possible.

Can someone pick me up a sandwich also???

I think the mods would rather have better things to do than do that.
