The listed website does not exist, so people may be tempted to reply to the email account.

DO NOT SEND EMAIL TO SNEAKER86's EMAIL ACCOUNT!

Doing so will add your email account to Sneaker86's spam list - your inbox will fill with junk email, much of which may be malicious and contain Trojans or other malware.

DO NOT SEND EMAIL TO SNEAKER86's EMAIL ACCOUNT!

Blin!! I cant focus when this spammer is around. The forum is way more difficult to read when he is around. I hope a Moderator turns up and kick his a** soon!

Where are the mods when you need them? The spam has been littering up the site for an hour and half now. It's like a itch I can't scratch. Make it go away! :evil:

It was a spammer. Their posts have been wiped out since then. Periodically a spammer or automated bot registers an account with WP then posts LOTS of spam, usually for fake branded goods (Chinese made counterfeit products).
