I too thought we'd been invaded by spammers.
Or I had clicked on the wrong forum.
It might be an idea to get the feel of a forum before blasting on with all multicoloured guns blazing and "pre-accusing" folks of them trying to rip you off.
The members here are an honourable bunch (of mostly adults) who can be trusted to not rip people off for 20 bucks.
Not a very auspicious start ..........
