Sneaky Spammers

posted in General on 02/16/08 at 10:02 PM

I just got a comment by someone who’s link was to a BlogTalkRadio.com user page. At first that seems normal and I almost approved it without looking closely. Then I noticed the username in the blogtalkradio.com was Buy_Meridia. Red flag! So I check out the page and sure enough, it’s a real page on BTR, but it’s just chocked full of spam. After a few seconds it redirects you to another spammy site. The folks over at BTR need to make sure they remove meta refresh and those kinds of codes from user submitted content. Spammers can now hijack profile pages and direct people away. Very nasty bit of spammage.
