Title: 50 BITCOINS AND I DONT EVEN HAVE TO MAKE A PHONE CALL?
Post by: noumen0n on May 02, 2013, 04:27 am
Seriously, how do the bots get past the captcha?

Is there some advanced image identification software I've never heard of or are these actual people that are posting these annoying spam topics?
Pretty much 20 of these just popped up all at the same time. HOW?!

Right? I figure only gullible underage kids are falling for these scams. If no one was taking the bait, I doubt these scam bots would be as prevalent. I've seen a couple threads on here, most in the newbie section, about how someone fell for this scam and wants to know how to get their money back.... quite sad :/

AGREE 100% seriously.

Sounds like the New Age version of Chain Letters: Send $1 to the first 10 people on the list and you will recieve 5 Billion dollars in 10 weeks...

It's easy, really. There are work farms in China that have a group of workers who's only job is to fill out captchas all day. They have the software set up so they don't have to view the page. The software sends them the captcha, they reply with the answer and then the spam bot continues its job.

OK so to protect yourself you just to be concious that every fucker on SR will try to scam you if given the chance. SR is an illegal service after all  8)

Then once you start to build relationships stick to those vendors and users.
