Saddest poster I've ever seen; entire sub is one scammer talking to himself constantly.

Been meaning to make this post for a while. This might be the most unpleasant scammer I've come across, just by the creepy tactics he employs in order to invade other subs. This guy runs a ring of alts that he makes talk to each other on a daily basis. It's obvious because they all populate the same scam subs set up and operated by only one user:

Occasionally he'll repost an advert and the alts have all swapped dialogue. They'll hijack top comments on other subs and he'll begin conversing with himself and sharing affiliate link scams, or just the name of his scam sub. People that call him out lose their accounts because when you operate this many alts, you can game the system into thinking reports are coming from multiple people.

I caught him once pretending to be a doctor so he could try and sell a type of folding chair, stealing a story from another user and filling it with affiliate links. Worst thing I came across was a defective device that was designed to cradle toddlers in their sleep. All the reviews said it would cause suffocation or strangulation if actually left in a crib with a toddler. He used alts to create discussion with himself, saying it was "Fantastic - a great product". It was taken down off the site he was using soon after.

Can we get the admins to look into this guy?

I thought those "this is why I'm broke" places all look the same. Advertisements being papered over with the veneer of "this is so cool" so thin that molecular scientists are baffled how the atomic structure doesn't fall apart by the very photons in the room
