Did anyone notice?
 
Did anyone else notice the usernames of the people who have birthdays today? Looks like someone created a bunch of accounts on this day; accounts that perhaps were meant to scam us somehow into getting a loan? I don't know...looks sketchy to me

They tried to fix this once but it looks like they didn't.

The big issue with this is not really for the members of the forum but the vendors as they are charged based on how many potential customers they are able to reach (members) when a large portion of them are fake or spam accounts vendors get overcharged.

Theyre bots, a good mod should be able to ban the IP address so they cant register in the future...
