A simple warning, figured the mere agknowledgement of this link would give people the knowledge to just say no, on the clicking of it.

No way, I found it in the IRC. Unless you know exactly where a link through IRC is coming from you would be a fool to click on it.

Hmm... They have never asked me for an ID. I don't know why they would need one. If you fund your account from a bank, why would they care about your identity?  Are you trading at a high volume, like over 10k/ month.
One word, chargebacks, that's not very hard to figure out.

I frequent IRC servers such as freenode and lately I have been getting a whole lot of random private messages from random username with stupid links inside of them. Why is this such a popular method of spam these days?

Today I got a message that looked like this.

When you click on that link, it takes you to a stupid pointless blog site called "Star Stocks" which is some Stock report blog (resolves to http://starstockhub.com/).


The details are appreciated, I personally wasn't willing to click on a link that contained possible malware. But thank you for your heroics, I am sure many members of this community will applaud your bravery.

Not much of a demonstration, but I applaud you for the attempt. I made a reference, to an obscured site, the link itself was spread through IRC. A paltry warning for the community.

Since I've never seen any spam on this forum related to spam or IRC, you seem to be the only one spamming here.

I'm not spamming.

Why is there annoying IRC spam. It's really starting to get annoying at this point. I mean can't we just ban all of them.

Here's the most prevelant link. http://bit.ly/uPBolO.

beware...

With the entire economy valued at $23 million I'm not sure if there's enough room for a second stock exchange.
