warning, a new Jvip potential scam is coming

I see lots of these kinds of jobs on various freelancing sites.
 
Interesting, this forum is always showing some surprises. There is a market for almost everything in here.

Well it's internet marketing, what else would be expected? And being almost new in this, I must say that this makes a lot of sense when you analyze some accounts and their behavior.
 
Does any one notice this dynamitewebsol,it has "webso" + he's from india.As far as I know,webso was also from India,so I am pretty sure that bidder is webso.
 
He wants people to make 100 posts "slowly in 7 days". How does one do that anyway? LOL
 
Alright, I have to be honest about this here as a member whose been here for a relatively long time. I was unable to necessarily identify how requesting people to post as you on a BH forum so that you could then PAY A FEE to achieve Jr. VIP status automatically implies that someone is a scammer.

The bidders - well I understand why we might be upset that internal folks are willing to fake post as others to help them achieve Jr. VIP status - but I also think that assumes they are all in cahoots and have malicious intentions.

I can definitely think of scenarios where having someone else post as you to obtain "reputation" or "status" or whatever is perhaps not only reasonable, but in some situations necessary. Not the least of which is a situation where someone might have a hugely valuable product/service to offer to MANY communities, and they may simply be TOO BUSY to post on 300 forums.

I trust and respect the mods here, so I'm confident the situation has been handled in the manner that is best for the forum. I just thought I'd play devil's advocate for a moment, and offer some alternative thoughts on what the possible intentions of this individual trying to get into Jr.VIP might have been. I'm sure you're probably all correct that his/her intentions were bad. Or were they?

I want to add to the above post and expose a potentially dangerous loophole I just noticed.

HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING -

Say I wanted to get a BHW member banned. Lets use WS130N as an example. All I would have to do is signup on gigbucks OR freelancer OR fiver under his username (WS130N), request a BHW account, post about it on here..... then what?

Would a mod then ban his account?

It's kinda scary when you think about it. I'd expect a mod to investigate a "big name" like WS130N. But for the other 90% of members on this forum I guess we're just f##ked?

If someone want promote a hugely valuable product/service the fast way is adversing or jv with some trusted jvip member and not to try to bypass the rules. ;)

Agreed, and of course mods here are very approachable, so they could directly interface - or offer something of tremendous value that gets them promoted. That said, BreaknBrix raises an interesting point above. As I mentioned, I trust the guys in charge around here, so I'm sure they'll do whatever they feel is right to protect the community in all situations.

Somebody tried it https://www.freelancer.com/u/W130SN.html but they didn't have the brain capacity to do a decent job.
 
BHW is the most popular and legit site out there, these kinds of freelancing jobs are expected to be out there. BHW should hire Matt cutts to bring the spammers down, since he is on indefinite leave, or could be he took leave from Google to join here.
