Poetry.com SCAM


Hey all. This journal is very important. There has recently been a spammer plaguing dA with comments like the one at the bottom of my page - from laurythompson.

The comment they are leaving on many deviants pages are something like: "OMG! you're a GENIUS! Why don't you join the poetry contest from Poetry.com? Free to enter, 100k prize. You MUST win it!"

This website is a SCAM. Please warn anyone who has comments like this one away from the website.

There is more information about this scam here (CLICK ME. NOW.)

Please give this news article your love, and warn anyone who has comments you see from this person, or any other person, linking to a scam website like this one.

Thanks!



They are now sending NOTES to people with messages like the ones above, so that they are less likely to get banned etc. .... If you receive a note from someone recommending you to Poetry.com or Photography.com - yes, PHOTOGRAPHY.COM ARE PART OF POETRY.COM AND ARE ALSO SCAMMERS, as well as PICTURE.COM - please report the user who sent you the note!

Poetry.com Scamp!


As you may have noticed, I've made a stamp which might help heighten awareness of the fact that Poetry.com is a scam - there are still a lot of people that don't know, y'know!  Here's the stamp:





NEWS ARTICLE!


I've written a news article about Poetry.com, and how you can help raise awareness of the fact that it's a scam! The article can be found here: news.deviantart.com/article/34…

Go give it some love!


Breast Cancer Awareness


Though I can't donate any money to the funds of moonbeam13's awesomeness that is the breast cancer support, I can add this stamp to my journal:
