I was just kidding BTW no offence. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ukrainian-ivf-spam#post-2768677 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 06:14:11 +0000 lilyofthewest 2768677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@G@9: nah, I just have family from (western) Ukraine and the Russian influence over Ukraine and the subtleties of language that go along with it can be a pretty sore point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ukrainian-ivf-spam#post-2768676 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 06:12:03 +0000 G@9 2768676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even I spotted them but then refrained from flagging hoping the success stories could pass on some hope at least. :bummed: anyone can tell the difference. Thought that no one would waste time to pay heed to more than what interests them anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ukrainian-ivf-spam#post-2768675 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 06:04:27 +0000 G@9 2768675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyofthewest: Hahaha... :grin: on a spam awareness post you're pointing to the use of suitable article for Ukraine; also, featuring a URL from Businessinsider. Wonder is it a spam too : bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ukrainian-ivf-spam#post-2768631 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 17:28:51 +0000 mrbee 2768631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks to everyone who has been flagging suspicious threads!

I did see those weird posts but didn't think too much into them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ukrainian-ivf-spam#post-2761116 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 09:19:09 +0000 lilyofthewest 2761116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: :heart: thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ukrainian-ivf-spam#post-2761110 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 09:02:32 +0000 mrbee 2761110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyofthewest: Ah I had no idea, thanks - edited the post! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ukrainian-ivf-spam#post-2761080 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 07:28:49 +0000 lilyofthewest 2761080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for being on this! Can I ask for one edit to your post? It really should be just "Ukraine", not "the Ukraine".

Are we supposed to flag these? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ukrainian-ivf-spam#post-2761003 Sun, 23 Jul 2017 17:20:38 +0000 mrbee 2761003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some spammer keeps creating fake accounts to promote an IVF clinic in Ukraine. We've deleted all the posts from these users, and put in anti-spam countermeasures as well. But they keep creating new accounts, some of which have started to spam more subtly.</p> <p>Here's what they're up to: first a new user will post about how they are of advanced maternal age and are losing hope for pregnancy... and then another user will reply (in a similar style) that they used an overseas IVF clinic and got great results. If you see this happening, please flag/report the post! We can take a look at the thread and the server logs to see if all the posts are coming from the same computer.</p> <p>Thanks for your help! </p>
