Who would get their taxes done by some random spammer? That just screams identity theft.

@Demolishun sadly I don't think they're just wasting time posting this crap. Well, probably posting it here is a waste of time, but I expect them to post the same crap elsewhere.

That is how SPAM and phishing targeting works: In this case, they decided to go for the extra gullible people because their chance of success is higher in that target group.

Why would they post spam like that here? We don’t talk about anything tax related, and this is a fairly small app with a fairly small active community
You’d think that they would want a big and active user base and with people who are likely to bite the bait -
@Hazarth these are targeted to people who fall for them. If you don't fall for this, you're too tough a nut to waste time trying to crack.

@DeepHotel Posting is automated. A bot crawls for sites with easy registration process and registers (maybe involving automated use of click workers to solve captchas). Then it posts. No step involves a human deciding whether the site is worth the CPU time and IO spent on tainting it with SPAM.
