Have you seen lately the job subforum? there are some people allegedly working at a company named cisin labs.

There are some behavours that make me think those are bots:
Sometimes 3 people answer the same post with the same words.
They are not registered and are new members
They never answer any other message written there
The webpage per se has nothing to do with programming.

I wouldnt recommend sending any info to their mails as most likely it is just a hook.

Yes, a mate from the forum told me few days ago and I think he’s rigth. They are always online in he forum and if you look the state is always: “Last seen: watching forum Job offers 1 minute ago”, their names has some kind of pattern too

i dont think business and job forum are moderated at all, Erel stated that any person could write on them when he created those.

thats interesting! so they are spamming other users in other ways.

I believe the best solution is for AA to do a turing test.
