Just flag the posts so the Scratch Team can take a look. 
Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease

Its malware. Most malware (IDKY) want you to take a survey or tell you you won something of some sort.

*gasp* Even Scratchers are now linking to malware surveys? WHAT HAS BECOME OF THIS USER-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY?!??!
Or it was redirected somehow. I don't know.
Are the links in the sig or in the post itself?
Probably just the spammers doing it.
As cheddar said; report the post!
