Greetings
You're all familiar with the random threads that show up from time to time on the forums that contain links to random sites. I had a thought about these spam bot accounts that are banned soon after they post. It may be just me but it seems out of character for most legitimate businesses to advertise through posting on random sites through automated accounts. I think many of these spam bots are created by scammers trying to drum up business. The links posted by the bots may lead to legitimate products however you never know what is on the other side. I'd say it's most likely a trick to lure people into being conned out of their money. It would be plausible that the links on spam posts may actually be fronts that redirect you to a fake error page typical of tech support scams. There's also the possibility that these links may be used by con artists to try to get curious and unsuspecting users to download a virus. Often its a fake security program that lies to the user about their PC being heavily infected with malware and requiring a payment for cleaning in an attempt to steal money and banking details. Do you think that these spam links most often have to do with scams or the distribution of viruses?
