It would be a well programed bot IMO.

There has been a lot of spam recently. @OBNurseNH flagged one this morning that scared me and @missoverexcited and we wanted to post a warning. The new user used a user name that appeared to be a Florida business. They posted a link that also appeared to be a direct link to their business. I did not click on that link. Please do not click on any links from new users. The post originated in a country outside of the US.
If you see a link from a user you do not recognize, please do not click on the link. Please click on their profile. If they are a new user , please flag them so @missoverexcited and I can take a deeper look at the profile and link.
Thank you!

Keep up the good work! They are getting so good at trying to blend in.

They sure are
Some tells:
Old posts revived
New user (typically joined within the last few minutes or hours)
Sounds like AI or advertising
Almost always offer a link — do not click on that link!

I flagged one the other day that was semi-sus in one thread and I thought maybe they are just a big fan of this service. But then they were in a completely separate thread overly-gushing over another service. Pretty new user so I flagged.

I think it’s better to flag and protect the community and be wrong than to not flag and someone gets harmed

I flagged one maybe 2 weeks back. I woke up early. It was a FL business with a link. or it appeared to be a FL business I didn’t click on it.

I figure flag it and let the mods sort it out.
