India normally - it'll be spammers employed to spam forums as they need to sign up and pass any captcha to post

oh and whatever you do - don't reply to the spam posts. If that user has it set up to receive an email when new notifications arrive, they will be aware that the crap they post is being seen.

It's really not all that bad. Just the other day through a post similar to these I found out I had a long lost uncle in Nigeria (recently deceased) who left me MILLIONS! All I have to do is send $10k (for administrative fees) and the money is mine!

Can I ask in advance for the Albin 42 TE that I saw for sale a few years ago when you’re rich? I’ll even sail it across the Atlantic to save you the shipping fees!

Idiots get through once in awhile. Thanks to Nancy for cleaning up the posts. I removed the accounts today.

Thanks to the moderators for the quick response. It is hard to tell what's what on the interweb. If it looks goofy, I will keep reporting.

Please do. We try to stay ahead of the idiots. I had to turn off the "self-registration". All new users must be approved before they can post.
