Why is it that spammers always use the black dude avatar? Is that just the default avatar or something?

Cut the guy some slack. He probably got the link from somewhere else and didn't know/think about the referral in it.

This one works, BBC ran a special on the site, and apparently people have actually been getting their stuff.

Note that in the fine print this offer is available only to UK resdients tho

If you don't want to get banned, and you are legit, next time don't post the actual referral link, just post what it is about.
