I got a few posts from them in the communities I moderate, it might be good to keep an eye out for them till they go away / are banned. There are a handful of accounts either posting the links or pretending to be happy buyers.

I don't think anyone will fall for it, but some links are sticking around because the community mods haven't noticed (or they did, but I didn't notice because I got to those posts through the links).

Thought I'd make a post & tag instead of privately messaging admins, in case others spot some too

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !techsoftware24@lemmy.ca
