'Hi I'm a new member' - What a doofus

So I am watching someone with 5 accounts here in myLot
They made a post...their very first one...saying they are a new user.
Okay, no problem.
And then 4 responses appear one after the other...all by brand new users with only 1 post each...each post being their response to the 'new' user.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.
I guess they must think we are pretty stupid.

@JolietJake I would not be smart enough to be seven people. I struggle being one person.

I think my best 'catch' here was someone with 7 accounts talking to themselves

For someone owned by a cat, you can sure sniff them out like a bloodhound! Of course, it doesn't take much to spot the obvious ones.....

@JolietJake -- I look at it as the "dog ate my homework" scenario: kids think they've invented a new idea, unaware that the teacher has heard it a million times before. Most of the rule-breakers (note I said MOST, not trying to stereotype here) come from the same parts of the world, so they may think they're doing something new.

One mentioned how 'fun and addicting' it is here...for their very first post...then I noticed all the others were also 'first' posts.

How in the world could someone have 5 accounts and only 1 paypal account? It isn't possible to have 5 pay pal accounts!:(

@kobesbuddy myLot has managed for 11 years because there are many of us keeping an eye out for this type of thing

@JolietJake Good grief, I never thought of that! People manipulate in every way possible, to mess things up for all the rest of us:( That's why another great site went down, because idiots like that one learned how to cheat the system! Thus, the site had to fold:(

@JolietJake did you use the report button to report this post or account. Also when the time for payment comes I'm sure admin can see ip addresses and figure out duplicate accounts.

Admin doesn't look at every post made unfortunately...they rely on users like you and I to help them spot things

Because it is a discussion by someone with no other activity that was immediately responded to by 4 users with no other activity.
One right after the other.
How did 4 brand new users find the same discussion started by a brand new user before anyone else found it?
Plus I got asked by one of them 'What is wrong with false accounts'?

I miss many of these, but did find myself followed by two people who converse with one another, all in the same day. At the same time. One had a discussion I reported and warned.
