    mo13 is probably getting a kickback somehow for the number of hits to that page/site.

    This site is being directly linked to steal people's money. Is that of no concern to you?

    Booh, I've seen the scam page before under various urls because it has a link to us in it's header (which I block), but you would seriously need to be some utter dumb ass to think the sites were related and the page was anything other than a scam.

    What do you think we can do about somebody linking us? tbh I do block the links from those domains but just because a site links here doesn't mean we have anything to do with it.

    Absolutely, I'm a dumbass because I am trying to help people not get ripped off.

    If I setup a scam page and linked fox news in the header, would you hold them responsible?

    The scam is for domain appraisals, you would think a professional webmaster would be able to spot a really bad fake page.

    I didn't accuse anyone as being responsible. Simply trying to tell you some of your users are scamming people through your forum, and give you a heads up on who they are. That's all.
