We have a whole team of people and a big investment in technology to protect this awesome community from scammers and spammers. But its kinda like an arms race - they keep figuring out ways to try to get through (as they do all over the web - not unique problem to us). Hers the thing - please help us keep this community wonderful for one another. Heres what you can do to help:

1. hit report on suspected spam (three dots on upper right of every comment has a report button if you just click on it)
2. be aware - no real person hides their email or phone number in code. I mean - they dont write out "at-gmail-dot-com" or put "hundred" in a phone number. Dont fall for the few spammers that might get through for a few hours til we out them.
3. focus on the thousands of people every day that are offering support, advice and connections. This is an awesome platform where people-help-people. Lets not let a few bad apples change the tone.
4. remember, if its too good to be true - it is!

thanks for your help - the team building this platform is on this, but just thought I'd ask for a bit of help for when one of the scammer/spammers out there finds a way to sneak through....
