Bot's just checking if auto-generated accounts are working? And if they are, then on to the link-ridden "buy your Nike shoes from here" type posts...

Oh.

This is a new one on me. It was actually attached to a BBC related post in General.

Cheers for reporting this one. Been watching the profile just to see if a signature was added or a homepage link in the profile. Is strange that it has done nothing on here.

its some kind of spambot.

If you search Google for "I’m sorry if this is not the right place for this post, but I was hoping some one here on"

you will find tonnes of similar posts where forums.contractoruk.com is replaced with the target forum, and yahoo is replaced with youtube or similar.

e.g. this site has one such post

Get yerself a smartphone and access it that way.

As for your company PC, It'll be on your company's centrally located restricted list. Even if you did get around it you'ed be breaking your t&c's and disciplined if not fired if your admin checked their logs or were alerted to your behaviour.
