Beware free iPad messages

76 replies

I just received a message from a new account with no posts, Administrator_Jason, offering a free iPad.

The message contains a link that looks like it is from Sonos.com but it is to presentnow.com. This has all the red flags of a scam.

Just a warning to be careful about what you click on, even here.

Hi All,

We’ve started banning these accounts and have taken steps to prevent more of this type from being created. While we’re looking into longer term solutions, we’ve currently enabled account registration approval by the moderation team on the forum.

Thank you for the reports on this and for your patience.

Edit:

I’ve merged a few threads into this one as they were made before we started banning the spam accounts.

Edit 2:

The accounts involved in sending out messages are all banned and, after making some adjustments on our end, you shouldn’t see any new messages regarding the spam link in this thread.

m’a dit que je faisais partie des 10 gagnants d’un iPad, 11, c’est un spam qui cherchait à faire du phishing, ne surtout pas communiquer vos coordonnées.
merci de bloquer et supprimer ce compte

Looks like the AI spam bot needs a bit of tweaking so it checks messages as well as posts.

newly created account named "Administrator_Maddox" (role: Listener, member since 26 June 2026) is sending unsolicited private messages claiming recipients have won a free Apple iPad Air 11. The message displays "Sonos.com/prize" but links to presentnow.club/sonos, which appears to be a phishing site. Please remove the account and warn affected users.
