Spam/scam posts

   There has been a rash of spam and scam posts lately.
They are showing new methods such as replying to an existing discussion and inserting the link or email address.  There is also a method of replying to an existing post with something that looks moderately legitimate.
These are likely AI posts and will only get worse as we work to combat them.
Just report them and they will be deleted quickly.  If it looks shady, DO NOT click the link or the email if shown.  They will never see your reply on this forum since you are replying to a bot not "Patricia" or a real human.
Its a lot like the "this just happened" posts you see on facebook or "lost person" or "lost dog" that in you look at their profile its' pretty easy to tell it is fake.  It only adds to their purpose if you reply or share it.
In the past we just requested for the first one to notice to reply "reported" and hit the report button.  We will get it shot down as quickly as we can.

	No, just use the "report" button and post reported so we don't get a ton of messages.
