I want to say my piece regarding spam.....
Last night (nsw time) some savvy spammer registered here in BE and his first post was so blatantly spam only a fool (I thought) would see the post as anything other than SPAM.
Usually spammers are so busy posting their shite on every forum they can that they dont stay long enough to engage in any chit chat on the spam thread they start but this fella was a bit smarter. Not only did he stay on this forum he actually got a few here suckered into thinking he was an innocent newbie to the extent that when I exposed him (in my first post as a spammer) I ended up getting flack in subsequent posts on the spam thread.
People....... when someone comes here and in their first post say (example):
"Hi, just arrived here from London and we love it here on Sydney's south shores. The wife went out and won a brand new Jag. She never won anything before but went to www.imasuckerandcantevenseespamwhenitsspam.com and won right away !
Can you believe it, you ought to try it!"
Its bloody SPAM
I forget who gave me flack for being somewhat negative about my replies to this idiot spammer, its not important but I just could not believe how this guy had people welcoming him to the forum, giving me crap for being who I am etc.
Please........ take care how you use the internet and dont be gullible since there are literally millions of scams, spams and other ripoffs that would take every penny you have and more.
Result of the above thread= thread deleted, member Banned, reason SPAM, just like I said in the first place

I also saw that thread and was surprised that the OP hung around to chat!!
But also, more importantly, I disregarded it as spam in a heartbeat and am surprised, very surprised that others didn't!!
Extremely worrying indeed!

Jesus Luke - give it a rest mate - you've eaten more bandwidth going on about this in this thread and the other one than it ever deserved! You did your bit, you reported it and got it deleted - now give it a rest, open another tinnie and chill.

There should be a forum devoted to those who just want to advertise their progress, and one for those who prefer realism.
If I post a thread, do I not deserve the same respect as others who post a thread in this "lifestyles" forum
Dont lose the plot, remember where the oz immigration forum is if you want to be less light hearted
