... Well, that's the weirdest and most involved spam idea I've heard in a long time.

Someone delete this?

You know, for a moment there I thought papillon was the one who started this thread...

I'm assuming there was a spam post here, that's not here anymore? When I looked at the subject line, I thought some forum regular might have taken photos on a trip to Madrid and was offering them as backdrop material for game creators. I thought, "Wow, that's mighty generous. Maybe I should take a look." So I decided to peek at the thread.

Now if you'll excuse me, my Bonzi Buddy tells me I need to go work out on my Bowflex while calling the psychic hotline for advice on how to earn my free iPod... ^_^;

Yeah, it was actually a logical idea of cool free pictures, until you got to the content of the post that was all random words to grab search engines, linking to random places (probably with affiliate programs somewhere, I didn't follow the links) and asking you to email them with the associated random words if you wanted to receive that particular picture. So not only could they try to get extra search engine hits and forum clicks, they could collect valid email addresses!

Much more clever than your usual scam.

Probably, the big purpose of the links were to try and get some of our PageRank. Spam posts like these happen from time to time, but I usually delete them. It's best to just ignore them until that happens.

There's actually been a large increase in spam posts lately, but I always just delete the whole topic. It's also why registration/login is mandatory for posting in most forums now
