Scammers in our Midst?
« on: July 21, 2011, 09:05:46 am »
When browsing through the list of members, I found a few with web pages listed having to do with payday loans or loans for people with bad credit.  While some of these are legit, this class of loan companies are usually very high interest providers who prey on people who can't get money any other way.  In Arkansas where I live, the legislature enacted laws that pretty well shut them down in this state by applying the same usury laws that apply to banks to them. I noticed that the members with these websites had not, for the most part, made any postings.  Does anyone else think that Aimee might want to look at the website titles listed and boot off people who seem to be present just to sell a non RV related service?

Hmmm...I'll take a look, but my bet is that they're banned.  One of the things about this forum that irks me is that I cannot simultaneously remove a member *and* block them by name.  I always block by IP, but many of these people use the same username across hundreds of forums, and a wide variety of IP's.  I always block by IP, by username, and by e-mail address used. They will still show up in the members' list even though they are banned.

I may be able to make a sweep through there and remove all of their websites.

I hate spammers.  >:(
