Q: So WHO are these 1 post wonders?

There are some great people on this forum, with pretty nice thoughts and answers...

 

 

From past few days I noticed there are many ID's which crop up to answer or ask 1 question and then disappear.

 

I am just curious, Why do you think that is?

I usually visit the site when I'm killing time at work, just long enough for a chuckle, with Excel at the ready in case the boss walks by.

 

WOOO! Second post!

I rarely have anything to say, and I can't be bothered to log into the site. I only comment if I am bored and a real question as not already received a real answer.

You don't get odd first time posters who then don't reply. A bit like this one from the other day..

Why would anyone want to renew a 6 month visa 2 months early?

Karma101:

No why...

I don't know about any of these accounts right now.

 

But a few times before we'd get a scammer on here that was probably the same guy.

 

He'd make a bunch of accounts, have them ask a couple questions about getting ripped off or visa issues. Then ask a question to say some rando business rips people off. Then the other accounts all agree.

 

Or it could be people needing an answer to one question. 

Karma101:

Haha that sounds twisted... though I don't think you are allowed to create more ID's now, I tried to make another ID, to you know! try to agree and disagree with myself... but couldn't, I guess the ID gets registered with the IP now...

Not surprisingly, most of the 'one post wonder' questions are visa/employment related.

As i have mentioned before, i suspect that there is an element of 'cat-fishing' involved as none of these posters respond when challenged to provide more information to clarify their questions.

This leads me to suspect that these are none other than '50-centers' just periodically trolling to see if anyone supports illegal behaviour.

As Expatlife26 notes, we are about due for another onslaught from the CTFU again, this time in a different guise.

 

I usually check the post history of a poster these days.

Who cares?

 

If people have questions, why not answer them?

Karma101:

I agree, But like Sorrel said the problem is, “these posters do not respond when challenged to provide more information to clarify their questions”. so...
