What is the term “cons” you use here?

  In this context, a few users are scraping YC profile information to attempt various scam/wire-fraud schemes against community members. 1. masquerading as YC associated organizations 2. attempting to extract banking information with classic 419'er tactics 3. spamming member contact routes with several phone and email Grifts These folks appear to be operating on a 4 month cycle, and redistributing target leads to other fraudsters. Annoying, but hardly a problem limited to YC if that is your concern. Best of luck, =3
