Once in a while we see spammers in The Pit. Here are signs of spam:
The good news is that your confidential info has never been hacked. Hackers have attacked, but your user names, email, addresses, phone numbers are all encrypted. As for credit cards, we never see or store them. When you enter that info into the pop-up window, it is actually a window from the card processor, Stripe, and they have never been hacked.
- It just sounds funny.
- It comes from someone on a trial membership. Spammers don’t pay to join.
- They have a low posts count.
- There is usually a link to a site, often to a food or grill-themed site. Please, do not EVER click on any of questionable links!
