Additional spam on LET

Recently (=today) there's been an influx of "help desk site" spammers on LET.

Their comments look somewhat legit, but link to some shady domain pretending to provide tech support.

If you see any of these comments, please flag them, and flag them hard.

Thanks in advance.

    Could you be more specific in "flag them hard"? Is there like some kind of button for it? haha

    There's a "flag" button above every post, except for when you're on mobile.

    The "hard" part is referring to that you don't have to think it was flagged before by 5 other users. Just flag it again. It needs to die, the sooner the better.

    So like, destroy a couple mouse buttons while flagging?

    Just to give a slight taste of what kind of spam to be on the lookout for:

    (in a thread about image hosting):

    I was suffering from a problem-related Image Hosting. And now I have resolved the problem.https://SPAMgmailSPAMhelpSPAM.net/

    and in a thread about linode increasing disk space:

    if your space is full then contact https://SPAMgeeksquadSPAMtechsupportSPAM.cothey help and resolve all your problem

    So the text fits in the context, but the link is purely seo-building spam.

    Spamming should be punishable by death.

    We serve all those links with rel=nofollow so it's even a fail for seo-building.
