Watch out for these forum spammers

Someone is trolling around forums with the (vaguely odd) intention of spamming a URL shortening service (and maybe lobbing in the odd link to rogue antispyware tools too).

Using the name of Sarah Jennifer, the spammer typically asks a question and, a few posts later, some other new poster magically appears and extols the virtues of a URL redirection service called "urlchop", or pimps Spyware Sweeper (a rogue antispyware app). Here's an example of this in action, and (even better) here's me owning their useless ass.


Spread the word and point and laugh at them next time they show up on your board.
