All this member has posted about is acquiring fake ids, birth certificates and the like.

They have spammed many of the forums.

I fear this "member" may be a scam.

Agreed! When they replied to someone asking why they're on this website they said "just in case someone wanted one" what a joke

I am new too, but there should be a way to report members abusing the forum. I havent found out how though

I agree. I'm hoping that posting it here will help alert others/ the moderators.

I was looking and didnt see a report button so maybe you have to pm administrator

You can "flag" the post, if not the user. The red flag in the left bottom corner of the post will give you a drop down menu option. I'm listing their posts as "spam".

Being a very popular website we get the attention of a LOT of spammers!

We have a TON of automated systems in place to slow them down, but no system is perfect and they slip through.

That's why we love that our members help us fight spam by instantly flagging spam posts so the reports are brought to the attention of our moderators.

You only need to flag one of the spammer's posts and we'll take it from there!
