This is the first edition of “slam a spammer” in our new series of article pointing out all those tricksters, scammers and spammers that hit website, emal inboxes, twitter and Facebook.

There are hundreds of thousands of them out there and if we spot them we will let you know about them, or if you would like us to investigate a website or a social media profile email us at: articles@gmagazine.co.uk

First in the firing squad lineup: xProfiles!

Yet another sex mad profiling/dating website, where 90% of all female profile are fake, even though most websites like this are just full of fake profile to entice you to register, I am surprised people still fall for it! if you wanna chat to real girls that get naked and not get scammed at the same time, then your safest route is to register on a website like candycrib, this is a respectable website, alright if you want to see the naughty stuff you have to upgrade your account. But websites like xprofiles.com are always going to nag to pay and not let you even open a photo.

This website has been caught doing the following:

• Tricking viewers into registering
  How: Fake profiles to entice you to register
• Spamming registered members with adverts, popups and nag screens
  How: Clicking on any link will activate a background popup’s, even if you are running “AdBlock” plugin for Firefox, also searching members, opening photos or photo albums, redirect to premium member nag screen.
• Spamming on twitter
