A Serious Question Regarding These Gummy/Keto/CBD/Weight Loss Scam Threads

Okay, I have a serious question about all of these scam threads trying to sell gummies and pills. Clearly, there's no way the site is able (or willing) to stop these threads, so we'll just have to tolerate them.

The grammar and content of these scam posts are so insanely illogical that it's obvious these scammers are making the posts stupidly illogical on purpose. No human on the planet could be *that* bad at English grammar, even if he didn't know any English.

So my question is, why are they doing this? My only guess is that maybe they're trying to construct the text to evade automatic spam filters. Anyone agree or have any other ideas why they do this?

Disagree. I get to delete these things practically every night and I am sorry that you feel so inconvenienced.  They don't come on a regular schedule.  Sometimes they come in waves.  Sometimes in dribs and drabs.   We have three or four mods who regularly participate in cleaning them out.

Overall, I think that the grammar quality isn't that horrible.   I don't think there is any special purpose to the style.   

Some people will say that they are bot prepared.  I don't think that is true.  If they were, I would expect the quality to go up but the variety to go down.

An interesting opinion. Another idea I have is maybe they make the posts so illogical because they only want people under the influence of mind-altering drugs to respond? lol

Another strange thing I've noticed about these scam posts is that they often add links that suggest the item might be fake or ineffective. (I don't know whether these links are real or fake; I don't click on them.) Why would they add information to make the reader doubt the product? It makes no sense to me, unless those links take you to a malware site.

I think the bad grammar is due to a translator.  Scammers like these target a lot of different countries and who knows what language the original script is in (or how many times it’s copy and pasted into a translator).

A while back I got curious about scams like these and call center scams.  What I find disturbing is that now these call centers are making malicious prank calls.  Months ago I walked into a business that I go to a lot. The lady that works there was on the phone and had a police scanner on.  On the scanner I heard something about some people who were shot at our local highschool.  Long story short—it turned out to be a prank call from a call center in India.  And they had called several schools in our district with the same script claiming that they were a biology teacher calling during an active shooter situation.  These calls have been happening for at least a couple of years now.   

Running the text through a translator might be a plausible answer to my question. However, the subject content seems to be far more illogical than what would happen with only a single pass through a translator. However, your idea carries more weight if you consider multiple passes through a translator.

A while back I looked at one of the sites.  I forget what country it was but noticed the page was automatically translated to english when I visited.  I’m willing to bet that the ads are copy and pasted from a site and ran through a generator.  But on the other hand, I have seen spam scam ads on other sites with added characters in words for the very reason you point out (to avoid detection by bots).

(What I meant was that the original page might be poorly translated to the scammers language, then they translate it again which makes it even worse.)

A sus new account. All these gummies ads are simply scams...
