Recently, there has been a strange tendency: people come to this board (probably from google by googling their site's name), register, leave 1 post (usually a praise) and vanish. These people never participate in our scam discussions, don't expose scammers, don't show any knowledge of scams, or willingness to fight scams with us, yet jump in to post a good review about a site. Suspicious... :thinking:

I beg everybody to take such "reviews" with a grain of salt. If a poster has 1-2 postcount and is not a regular poster on this board, yet left a praise to some site, it clearly means he arrived here with the ONLY purpose: to leave such "review". Obviously, in most cases they are affilated with the site in question. Otherwise, they wouldn't even bother registering and posting. ;) Please, take into consideration only reviews left by our regular posters: the ones who expose scams with us and are here to do something more productive than simply leave a review on some site.

Absolutely. We say the posts are the opinions of the posters and not of the site. This is a perfect example of why we say it. Sometimes industry insiders try to make something look better than it is. It's not just here that it happens. Any site about any subject has it's share of "positive" reviews posted by less than objective people.
