New scammer technique using BST?

[shammus]

Yep, if you ever try to access any page in BST without being logged in, you're taken to a login page. That goes for us too...anytime I clear my cache/cookies and then hop back on the board, I'm unable to see any posts or even pages within BST without first signing in.

In short, it's actually impossible to access BST without an account here first.

I tend to agree. However, never underestimate a POS scammer. Everything is impossible...until it isn't.

Clarification #1: None of this post is directed at shammus (a stand-up member, in good standing)
Clarification #2: I do not know a way to circumvent the login, nor do I advocate the pursuit of this knowledge
Clarification #3: Scammers are lying, cheating, stealing scumbags...who occasionally excel at lying, cheating, and stealing. Stay vigilant!

It happened to me a month or two ago. Has made me reluctant to submit any LTB posts.
