Some bozo named domsabo added me to his friends list. When I went to check out who it was, it's nothing more than a scam ad for get rich quick scams like you see in the newspaper. Unfortunately, some poor naive person out here in LJ land is gonna go for it. I'm going to report this lj though I doubt anything will come of it ( Read more... )

I've actually had pretty good luck with reporting spammers and bots. Never had gotten hit with any on LJ until a couple of months ago or so, one was a spam/spambot, the other was one of those Russian LJs that everybody was getting hit with so hard several months ago, where apparently the goal is for them to try and get people to friend them back. Some of the more malicious ones would then find a way to hack into your LJ. Both LJs I reported as bots, and I banned both of them from commenting on my LJ, naturally didn't friend either one of them. Within about a week to two weeks at the most, both LJs showed up has being suspended accounts, with the spam one getting killed off the fastest. So I would expect to see that domsabo to have a strikethrough on it in about a week, maybe a couple of days past that.

They're pretty good at going after the spammers here. Report away!

First the entries disappeared but I checked the friends lis and mine had been removed so I figured they were f locked. So I left another message on support as it was still open there and let them know about that. Today, the lj has no friends on it anymore. No idea if lj told him to knock it off or he saw my post on here. Either way, scamming people is a horrible thing to do and good riddance.
